Iguassu Falls

Spectacular, breathtaking, majestic. There's no better description of the torrents of water cascading down Iguassu Falls, one of the largest and most impressive falls in the world. The name Iguassu comes from the Guarani Indian word meaning "great water."

Situated on the border of Brazil and Argentina, the 275 falls plunge over a precipice more than a mile and a half wide with an average drop of 300 feet to the Iguassu River below. Every second, 450,000 gallons of water come tumbling down.

The view at the precipice is hypnotizing. You will be treated to a multi-sensory experience: roaring falls, hugh rainbow arcs, drenching mist, and, in the distance, parrots and hawks cruising over a deep green jungle.

Package includes: Roundtrip air ticket, roundtrip a irport transfers, hotel with breakfast, visit to Brazilian side of the falls, Macuco Safari Tours (in boats), Hydro-eletric power station of Itaipu, Show and Dinner at Plaza Foz Theater.

But the Wonderful City has yet a wide range of other attractions to offer, such as cultural centers, numberless museums, churches, famous confectioners’, old streetcars and beaches – many beaches.

Salvador

Salvador, the capital of the Brazilian coastal state of Bahia, is a rhythm-fuelled South American city, with clear African roots.
