With his itinerary suggestions for the day we were able to hike both upper and lower trails of Iguazu National Park (Argentina Side) and go on the boat tour which goes under the falls! The Devil’s throat trail that was damaged in 2023 was closed. Fabio suggested we go to the Brazil side of Iguazu Falls so we could see Devil’s throat water falls (additional fee). Our driver for the day was great and his car was clean! It was well worth the cost to have a private tour because it made it possible for us to do so much in one…”
