The ‘open’ back truck allows a great vantage point to see the many parakeets, parrots, macaws, toucans, and many other birds, lizards, monkeys, a myriad of butterflies, 85 species of orchids, bromeliads, and guembes that call this jungle area their home. After about a 45-minute ride through the forest, you will board riverboats that will take you breathtakingly close to the falls.

This tour takes you to the subtropical forests of the Brazilian Iguazu National Park. You will be taken by jeep though the forests, which is followed by a spectacular boat trip.
