Rio to Iguaçu Falls and Helicopter Ride
Continue your tour to Iguaçu Falls where you will spend the afternoon with a helicopter tour of the area. This morning begins with a transfer to Rio airport for the flight to Iguaçu. Upon arrival, a guide and vehicle will be ready to assist with the transfer to the hotel. After checking in, it’s time to set out on a half-day Brazilian Falls tour. The surrounding subtropical forest is home to a wide variety of plants, trees, and bird species. Walkways through the park lead to several lookout points, each offering a different perspective on the landscape and waterfalls. Along the way, visitors can pause to take in the changing views. The final stretch brings you face-to-face with the park’s most well-known feature—Devil’s Throat. Here, the water plunges more than 80 metres, sending mist into the air and creating a powerful natural display. The day continues with a private helicopter flight over the Iguaçu Falls. From the air, the full scale of the park becomes clear. Dozens of streams and waterfalls feed into the larger system, with Devil’s Throat at the centre. This short flight offers a rare chance to take in the entire area at once and is often remembered as one of the most striking moments of the trip.
