The Iguazu Falls are considered to be the most impressive in the world, surpassing in grandeur both Niagara and Victoria with some 275 separate cascades falling in a wild array over a winding three kilometre cliff frontage into a gorge which is 60 metres deep, making it four times the width of Niagara Falls.

Viva Expeditions, the most experienced Latin American tour company, are offering fantastic trips to one of the top attractions in South America. One of these is a three-day tour that includes an afternoon half-day tour of the Brazilian side of the falls, providing unparalled views up into the heart of the ‘Devil’s Throat’, the largest section of the falls. The next day visitors will have five hours to explore the Argentinian side of the falls and will then take an open train to make a 15 minute journey up to ‘Cataratas Station’ where they can spend time walking along the paths and lookouts admiring the falls. From there they take the train to ‘Garganta Station’ at the top of the falls to share one of the greatest shows on earth.

Viva Expeditions’ nine-day tour takes in the Iguazu Falls, as well as visiting the fabulous cities of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.  This tour starts in Buenos Aires, the ‘Paris of the Americas’, where travellers can embrace the rich culture of the city, enjoy the famous Argentinian beef steaks and red wine and take in a tango show in one of the city’s finest tango houses. From there they will fly to Iguazu Falls where they will visit both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of the ‘most impressive falls in the world’. Flying on to Rio de Janeiro, one of the most colourful and beautiful cities on earth, this tour gives visitors a full day tour to visit Rio’s famous Corcovado (Christ Redeemer) and Sugarloaf Mountain and a morning tour of Rio’s infamous Favelas, with an afternoon at leisure to enjoy Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.

The Viva Expeditions team recommend combining this tour with a trip to Peru to see the incredible ruins of Machu Picchu on their ‘Taste of South America’ 14 day tour or maybe a trip to the Mendoza Wine Region, Northwest Argentina, Patagonia or perhaps the Brazilian Amazon Jungle or Salvador de Bahia.  Viva Expeditions offer fully escorted small group tours that are virtually all-inclusive, travelling in one of their purpose built deluxe expedition vehicles.
