The adventure

Get up close to Iguazu Falls on this Independent Short Break. Straddling the border of Argentina and Brazil, the falls stretch almost 3 km, offering you plenty of viewpoints to witness their scale. Learn about this large waterfall from a local guide as you watch the water spill over. Iguazu is a Tupi-Guarani name meaning 'Great Waters', and when you see this mighty testament of nature, you’ll understand why!
