Nautical tour Balsa Aventura

A tour of the Iguazú
Enjoying a nautical trip along the Iguazú River is a different way of knowing the Paraná rainforest of humid subtropical climate that borders with its leafy foliage the coasts of the river that comes calm after having boxed in the Iguazú Falls to give origin to one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

This section of the river that starts at the Falls is known as Iguazú inferior, which coincides with the boundary between Brazil and Argentina. From the water you can see the Tancredo Neves International Bridge, which connects both countries. Puerto Iguazú on one side and Foz do Iguaçu on the other are the border cities. The connection is also known as the Bridge of the Fraternity and extends 489 m above the waters of the river, becoming a step of communication and a commercial and tourist route well traveled in Mercosur.

In the silence of the jungle it is possible to listen to the batucada of the woodpecker, near the white veil that falls thundering with an imposing fall from the Brazilian side. It´s the Tamandúa jump, "the enchanted", say some connoisseurs of legends and the inhabitants of the Brazilian farms of the Newfoundland region. The jump brings the waters of the river of the same name and of the Tibagi River by steep ravines, which then fall in a dive through the rocky walls.

It is time to turn around and head downstream, towards the milestone of the Three Borders, meeting point of three cultures, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. At the junction of the Iguazú and Paraná rivers, the clicks of the cameras follow one another in 360 ° photos. Three countries, three flags, come together in this wonderful confluence of rivers that bring all the powerful force of water and the cultures that surround them. The border is marked by natural courses, but crisscrossed with ties of fraternity as the name of the international bridge.

It is a 60 minute adventure ride, one of the alternatives to walk and enjoy Puerto Iguazú, in the province of Misiones.
