Multi-lingual guides point out the diverse flora and fauna, including orchids, palm trees, bromeliads, and occasional wildlife. You'll board an inflatable motorboat for an exhilarating ride up the river, through the canyon, to the face of the rapids. Appreciate the stunning scenery as you approach the base of Iguazu Falls. At the Devil's Throat, marvel at the rainbows, blue sky, mist, and water in abundance.
