ADVENTURE

x |
Ecological trails,
canyons, wild animals and a stupendous view of the Iguassu Falls
are some to the attractions of this unforgettable excursion through
the Iguassu National Park. |
|
The big
adventure begins at the Macuco Safari entrance gates, located
at kilometer 25 of the Cataratas Highway inside the Iguassu National
Park, with embarkation in open jeep-towed wagons that permit an
unobstructed view of the scenery along the trail. During the stretch
of three kilometers through the jungle, multi-lingual guides point
out examples of the flora and fauna of the Park.

|
|
Orchids,
palm trees, bromeliads, centenaria trees, as well as wild animals
that occasionally cross the trail are pointed out by the guides.

The hike
- The second stage, a stretch of 600 meters (optional), is a hike
on a trail that leads to a waterfall baptized "Macuco Falls".
The waterfall - perfect for a refreshing dip on days of intense
heat - spills down from a height of approximately 20 meters. Access
is via a stairway carved into the ancient rock. The last stop
is the Macuco Safari docks on the Brazilian side of the Iguassu
River.

In the water,
inflatable bi-motor boats, constructed to withstand the rigors
of the excursion, are secure and efficient vessels. Before embarkation,
passengers receive life-vests and plastic containers in which
to protect photographic and filming equipment. The boat travels
up-river passing the canyon facing the rapids at a speed that
permits the appreciation of the scenery.

|
| Rocks,
animals and a lot of greenery completes the scenery until the base
of the Falls is reached, next to the "great horseshoe"
know as the "Devil's Throat". |

Waterfall
shower - Rainbows, blue sky, mist and water in profusion, punctuate
the spectacle that has as its high-point the area of the Falls
baptized "The Three Musketeers". There the captain manuvers
the boat in order to get close enough to provide the passengers
with a quick and refreshing shower. Since at the end of the fun
everyone normally ends-up wet, the passengers more sensitive to
cold should not dispense with extra clothes to use after the boat
excursion.
