We were picked up and dropped off at the stables and left there without warning nobody speaking English. It was my first time on a horse too. We were given a horse but poor thing looked tired and restless. We trotted on for 20 mins along dusty roads with motorcycle and dogs yapping horse was spooked and whinnied and almost chucked me off, we had no helmets either. we arrived at a Guarani village again no English so I used Google translate to communicate. V interesting chat and stroll around village. Then another 20 min horse trek back to stables.....

The trip to visit the falls on the Argentinian side was fabulous, our guide was excellent & very knowledgeable. It is a full day tour with lovely walks thru the bush & along the top of the falls. The 2nd day to the Brazilian side was average. You get great views of the falls from the Brazilian side, but there is a lot of queueing and waiting around. The trip was a little shorter but effectively we only spent about 45 minutes out of the day trip sightseeing.

Was blown away by iguazu much better than I expected and defo worth paying the extra to do the speed boat

The guide was very nice and with a lot of attention to everyone and everyone’s needs.

The day was really well structured. The guide was very friendly.
