Macuco Safari
The classic Brazilian-side experience: an electric cart through the rainforest, then a rubber boat that rushes beneath the falls, bringing you close to the mist of the Devil's Throat.
Macuco Safari is located inside Brazil's Iguazu National Park. Get off the park bus at the Macuco Safari stop, then ride an electric open-top cart through about 3 km of Atlantic coastal rainforest. From there, head down to the river and board a twin-engine rubber boat, which goes upstream through the Iguazú River gorge toward the Three Musketeers Falls and plunges right into the curtain of water. The whole trip takes about 2 hours. It costs about BRL 500 (park admission not included) and can be booked online. You will definitely get soaked on board, and waterproof storage bags are provided. It can be combined with the Brazilian-side panoramic trail on the same day, and it's best to walk the trail in the morning and take the boat afterward.
