Questions, answered.
Something else on your mind? Ask in your request or on WhatsApp.
Can we see the Brazilian and Argentine sides in one day?
Yes. The Day Tour (about 8 hours) starts on the Argentine side, with the Devil's Throat and the Upper Circuit, and continues in the afternoon on the Brazilian side, with the border crossing handled with you. If you have more time, the Two-Day Tour covers each side on a different day.
Is the tour really private?
Yes. It is only your group, with a dedicated guide and a private car. We never mix groups, so the pace, stops and timing are entirely yours.
What documents do we need to cross into Argentina?
Bring a valid passport (citizens of Mercosur countries can usually use their national ID). Entry rules depend on your nationality, so please check them before travelling; we confirm the details with you while planning. Check if your country requires a visa.

Your guide speaks English and Portuguese. If you would prefer Spanish, mention it in your request and we will tell you what we can arrange.
Is the boat ride to the falls included?

Is it suitable for children or older travellers?
