What makes this different from a standard Iguazu Falls group tour?

This is a private tour with a dedicated guide covering three major attractions (dam, bird park, falls) in one day, rather than focusing solely on Iguazu. The private aspect allows flexible timing, personalised stops, and no waiting for group schedules.

How many birds are in the Bird Park, and what kinds will I see?

The park houses over 1,100 birds across 140+ species. The collection includes a large macaw population; notably, 50% of birds are rescues and 43% were bred on-site, emphasising conservation and rehabilitation.

Is this tour physically demanding?

Moderate fitness is recommended. You'll walk multiple trails at Iguazu Falls and Bird Park, navigating uneven terrain and staircases. The Itaipu Dam portion involves less walking. Accessible alternatives may be available—ask the supplier.

What's included in the price (from EUR 162)?

Prices vary by season and group size. Confirm whether hotel pickup, guide, entrance fees to all three sites, and transport between locations are included. Some operators charge separately for entrance fees.

Will I get wet near Iguazu Falls?

Yes, especially on the main viewing trails closest to the cascades. The spray is intense even on sunny days. Waterproof jackets or ponchos are essential; most visitors get damp despite precautions.

How long do we spend at each location?

Typical allocation over the 8-hour tour: 1.5–2 hours at Itaipu, 2–2.5 hours at Bird Park, and 2.5–3 hours at Iguazu Falls, plus travel time. Your guide can adjust based on interests.

About this activity

Full day tour.
