The Macuco Safari is one of the famous attractions of the Iguaçu National Park. For those who enjoy adventure, this extreme tour is highly recommended when you come to Foz do Iguaçu. Imagine having the opportunity to see a universe of water falling very close to you? Even more so from a very different angle than the one seen from the top of the walkways in the Iguaçu National Park…
That's right! Del Rey Quality will show you today why Macuco Safari is suitable for people of any age. Were you curious? So this post is for you!

Macuco Trail (1st part)
To get to Macuco Safari you must take the internal bus at the entrance of the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu and get off at the second stop. Keep in mind that you are about to take a tour (Traditional Macuco) lasting 1h40. So let's go!
The first part of the tour, called the Macuco Trail, is done in an open electric car, precisely to allow the visitor to appreciate the local fauna and flora, in addition to the wild animals that may pass along the way. How lucky huh!
It is worth mentioning that the 3 km traveled in the middle of the jungle is accompanied by a specialized guide to explain about the place, pointing out curiosities such as the plants of the region and species preserved in the environment.
Salto do Macuco (2nd part)
In this part, there are 600 meters of walking (light), passing through a suspended trail. The trail, which also goes through the jungle, passes by Salto do Macuco, a waterfall where an activity available on another Macuco Safari tour takes place: cachoeirismo (which is rappelling down the middle of the waterfall).
Stay tuned: if you don't want to take the trail, you can go by jeep for the last part of the tour.
A Walk on Water (Part 3)
When the visitor arrives at the “base” of Macuco Safari, he finds bathrooms with changing rooms, a snack bar and the souvenir shop, where it is possible to buy a token to use the lockers (R$ 10 reais). Keep everything you can't get wet in the closet, like cameras, cell phones, keys, sneakers.
On the boat trip, you can opt for the “dry” version (in which the boat is further away from the falls) or the “wet” version (in which the boat goes underwater).
Boats leave every 15 minutes. To board, you need to go down in a kind of funicular, to the riverbed. Downstairs, there is a platform where each visitor wears life jackets (mandatory). There's heart!
Discover the perfect Macuco Safari for you
In addition to the traditional tour (described in this post), Macuco Safari also offers four other adventures:
- Macuco Safari Jungle: this tour is similar to the traditional one, however, it ends at the base where the boats leave. The idea of the tour is to provide an additional option for those who want to get to know the region's forests better, but don't want to venture out on the boat.
- Macuco Safari + Waterfall: here it is possible to rappel down the waterfall.
- Macuco Safari + Rafting: the boatman stops at another pier and those who choose to include rafting in the tour get off to do this activity.
- Macuco Jungle + Waterfall: this tour includes the journey made in the electric car and the waterfalls, leaving out the boat trip.
