How is the Macuco Safari Tour?
Located at the second stop within the Iguaçu National Park, the Macuco Safari is divided into three stages. The first part consists of a journey through the Atlantic Forest done in an electric vehicle, where a trilingual guide talks about the history of the National Park, flora, fauna and curiosities.
In the second stage, there is an optional 600-meter walk on a suspended trail. You can choose between taking the walk or taking the vehicle until the last stage. If you choose to walk, halfway through the route there is a stop to observe the Salto Macuco, a 20-meter drop where tourists can take pictures, and there is also a station for waterfalls.
After the trail, tourists are directed to an area with a snack bar, shop, restrooms and changing rooms. In this area is the electric cable car that takes tourists to the pier, where the last part of the tour begins: the boat trip to the Falls for a real bath in the falls!
