They are made up of 275 falls thundering down from a 70 meter average height.

Day 15 - Private Tour The Falls "Brazilean side" & Helicopter experience!

The Brazilian side of the waterfalls lies across the river. It is the same geographic feature, as nature has no borders, but from the Brazilian side, visitors may appreciate the falls from a different perspective. Rumor has it that the waterfalls are different “on the other side”. They look larger, more visual, and ideal to take a huge panoramic picture and share it with acquaintances, family and friends. The truth is that on the Brazilian side, the waterfalls are just the same, but visitors may catch a complete glimpse of their front view, as well as of their grandness, due to the geographic situation of Parque Nacional do Iguaçú, which we reached by car from the City of Puerto Iguazú.

Parque Nacional do Iguaçu is wonderful from every point of view and, just like its Argentinian equivalent, it is nestled in the heart of this green thick rainforest where palm trees, climbing plants, bamboo and ivy are common and give shape to an almost impenetrable layer.

Unforgettable Helicopter Experience Over the Falls!

On the Brazilian side, you will have a unique experience by flying over the famous Iguazú Waterfalls at a prudent distance. These flights offer a majestic view of this geographical wonder of waters and falls. The sign located on the road invited us to a unique experience: flying over the Iguazú Waterfalls on a helicopter. This is one of the many flights leaving everyday from the Brazilian heliport. In a matter of minutes, they unveil the mystery of the falls from the air and they show how the Iguazú River continues its course until it empties into the Paraná River. Flying over the waterfalls on a helicopter is a tour like no other. It shows a unique sight of this place, which features the necessary magic to please the most demanding of mortals, even those who believe they have already seen everything.
