Immense waterfalls in a rainforest setting
Iguazu Falls, Brazil
You can hear the thunder of these awe-inspiring falls before you see them. Close up, watching them cascade into the river below will truly take your breath away. Be amazed by the sheer scale and size of this natural wonder that straddles the border of Brazil and Argentina. Explore the Iguazu Falls by walkway, from below by boat, or above by helicopter. Or stay in an elegant luxurious Brazilian hotel surrounded by rainforest in a prime position, right next to the falls.
See the falls from every angle
The Iguazu Falls can be seen from both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides. Cosa can advise you on the best way to experience them, whether you want to walk along boardwalks, hike on forest trails or take an exhilarating boat trip to get up close and really feel the spray on your face.
Get a dramatic aerial view
Iguazu (in Spanish Iguassu or Portuguese Iguaçu) means ‘big water’ in the Guarani and Tupi languages. The falls are very impressive seen from ground level and even more so from high up. We’ll take you up in a helicopter to see the sheer size of this ‘big water’ for a breathtaking panoramic view of it all.
Take a private forest tour
There’s more to Iguazu than waterfalls, as amazing as they are. The falls are set in a national park teeming with flora and fauna, with hundreds of species of brightly-coloured birds and beautiful butterflies. We can arrange a private guide for you, an expert who will take you birdwatching and explain all about forest life.
Stay over in style
Where better to stay than in a five-star colonial hotel beside the falls themselves? Where the background music to dinner is the sound of the water and you can explore the park when it’s closed to the public. Where you can wake up in a tropical paradise in gorgeous rooms of old-world elegance. Sound good? Ask us for details.
Essential Iguazu Falls
On the border between Brazil and Argentina, the Iguazu Falls are located in the west of Paraná State in Brazil. The falls are on the Unesco World Natural Heritage List and were also voted one of the world’s New Seven Wonders of Nature. The park has a very rich biodiversity, including some endangered species such as the jaguar and the ocelot. One of the crown jewels is the Garganta do Diabo (Devil’s Throat) waterfall, not to be missed!
