What people are saying about Puerto Iguazu

Très bonne journée au côté brésilien des chutes d'iguazu. Transfert parfait depuis notre hôtel en Argentine, puis hélicoptère, parc à oiseaux, chutes, repas et enfin bateau. La seule critique est le manque de temps pour totalement profiter du parc à oiseaux, mais tout le reste était parfait, superbement organisé. A faire, vraiment !

Great trip but because we booked speedboat as well Without speedboat this excursion is not interesting as bridge to Devils throat is destroyed
