Iguassu Things to Do

Walking the trail on the Brazilian side is possible via the main trail, approximately 1,600 meters (one mile) long, which leads one along the river with its many smaller falls to the base of the biggest waterfall where small bridges extend out over the brink of the series of falls which make up Devil´s Throat. This side provides a good general view of the falls. After walking the catwalk, there is a tower with an elevator/lift to get people to the top of the falls from where one can have a spectacular panoramic view. At the top the trail leads to the end of the tour in front of the Iguassu River above the falls. Here, one can find a souvenir shop, a restaurant and a fast food restaurant. Transportation is available to return the visitor to the starting point and the hotel.
70% of Iguassu Falls is located on Argentinean territory, but most of the Falls face Brazil. For this reason it is advisable to see the Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentinean sides.

The Jesuitical Missions of the Guarani are located in several places of the province of Missions in the North-East of Argentina and in the State of Big Rio do Suth of Brazil.
The missions are: San Ignacio Mini, Santa Ana, Nuestra Señora de Loreto y Santa María Mayor (Argentina), ruinas de Sao Miguel das Missoes (Brasil).
These Missions were constructed in the XVII century, for Spanish Jesuits to evangelize the aborigines and to develop the indigenous communities in the agricultural activities and in the handcrafted work. The style was combining the colonial baroque with contributions of the Guarani culture.
Actually they were 30 accessions granted by the Spanish wreath located 15 in Argentina, 7 in Brazil and 8 in Paraguay (Declared Patrimony of the Humanity for the UNESCO in 1994).
San Ignacio Miní has the ruins best preserved of the missions, in the surroundings of the locality of San Ignacio (in Missions, Argentina). This Mission was constructed in 1632, together with Ignacio Guazú's mission. A real village was constituting, with workshops, Church, kitchens, housings, etc.

Some of the best things to do is this, you won't regret. To get the river is necesary to ride for about 20 minutes on a open trail through the rainforest of the Iguassu National park ( Brasil). Along the way, experienced guides will explain every aspect of the forest, then the tourist are invited to walk some mts to see the macuco fall and to get to the boat docks. First will be comfortably installed in their seats in the powerful launches that soon will be navigating the waters of the Iguassu river. But this isn't an ordinary excursion. Within minutes the calm waters and apparent tranquility of the river will be broken by the turbulence of river rapids, from there on it is only excitement.

This experience is amazing, the Iguassu falls are the most beautiful natural place that I have seen and of course that seen from a helicopter is a whole show. The flight is 60 dollars and it takes 15 minutes that maybe are gonna seem like 5 but it really worth it. The view is fantastic and you have to add the sensation of being in a helicopter. There is a momento when you will approach to the devil's throat and in this moment I am sure you heart is gonna beat like ever. You have to do it!!!
