Macuco Safari is an impressive tour in Foz do Iguaçu, with more than 33 years of history within the Iguaçu National Park!
Your adventure and experience are incredible and perfectly complement the Iguaçu Falls tour, for those who decide to do both attractions on the day!
What is the Macuco Safari tour like?
The tour is accompanied by a specialized guide and consists of a trail made in parts by a trailer, pulled by an electric jeep over a 3km route.
At the first stop, visitors can take a jeep or walk along the trail through the forest, with a guide and other tourists taking the tour.
On foot, the trail covers a 600-meter walk, passing Salto Macuco, a waterfall of around 20 meters that springs from ancient rocks.
The tour continues to a structure that precedes the boat, where there is an area for visitors with a snack bar, shop and bathrooms, as well as a privileged view of the Iguaçu River.
Then, visitors can take the suspended elevators that go down to the base of the river. Once they arrive at the base, they can board the motorized boats for a powerful boat ride along the falls of the Iguaçu River.
Tour through Iguaçu National Park:
To take the Macuco Safari Foz tour, you need to go to the Iguaçu National Park, which is located in Avenida das Cataratas – BR-469, km18 – Foz do Iguaçu.
To enter the National Park you need to buy a ticket to the Iguaçu Falls, so when you go on the Macuco Safari, take the opportunity to also visit the Falls on the same day.
At the National Park, after purchasing your ticket or presenting your voucher, go to the queue to board the tourist buses. They took you inside the Park, where you can see the forest and the path that has some stops.
The second stop is Macuco Safari, if you decide to take this tour you must first wait for the electronic announcement and get off at this stop. If you choose to do the Falls first there is no problem either, just go to the embarkation point at the Falls and get off at the right stop, before arriving back at the National Park.
Tip: Pay attention to the tour times, so as not to miss the trip, it is a good idea to plan your time at each attraction. If it's in the morning, you'll be more sure that you'll be able to do both easily.
