The distances range from a bird’s eye point of view of The Devil’s Throat together with several Brazilian rapids, to spectacular close-ups to other falls. This walk has some high difficulty level due to the number of steps along the way. (Approximate duration: 2 hours). The Higher Path is a 1,300- meter-walk (0.9 miles) that will raise every visitor ́s adrenaline level because of the vertigo of being at the edge of some waterfalls. This walk has breathtaking sceneries from a cliff-point outlook and this is the less effort demanding walk of the three traditional ones. No steps along the way. (Approximate duration: 1 hour). The Devil’s Throat has to be accessible via the Ecological Jungle Train, and everyone must get off at the stop named after this waterfall.

Nativo experience
Nativo Experience is a half-day 4x4 tour along the coast of Lake Argentino. Perfect for your arrival or departure day, this tour takes an anthropological approach, traveling through time to explore the presence of humans in these lands, rediscovering stories of the first expeditions and the daring pioneers who ventured into the unknown.
Between cliffs and with views of the Andes Mountain Range, the tour focuses on the first contacts between explorers and native peoples, then delves into the world of the Tehuelche culture. Along the lakeshore, we visit ancient caves where this culture left its marks on the rock thousands of years ago—traces that still speak to us today.
Our 4x4 vehicles will pick you up from your hotel to begin the adventure across the Patagonian steppe.
At the shores of Lake Argentino, our guides offer insights into the landscape’s formation, as well as the local fauna and flora.
We then climb to a panoramic viewpoint that offers stunning views of the city, the vast Lake Argentino, and the Andes.
A short 500-meter hike takes us to an archaeological site, where we interpret the meaning behind the rock paintings and the techniques used to create them.
We conclude the tour by enjoying a delicious Patagonian meal in a truly unforgettable setting.
San Ignacio Jesuit Ruins & Wanda Mines Tour
This full-day excursion departs early in the morning toward the southern region of Misiones province. We begin by visiting the Wanda Mines, one of the earliest mining sites discovered and exploited in the area. Accompanied by expert local guides, we explore open-pit and underground galleries where semi-precious stones such as agates, amethysts, topazes, and quartz crystals are extracted. The tour includes fascinating explanations about the geological formation of the region and the mining process.
Following Route 12, you’ll enjoy scenic views of tea and yerba mate plantations, rural towns, and lush subtropical vegetation along the way.
The journey continues to the San Ignacio Mini Jesuit Ruins, one of the most impressive examples of the Jesuit-Guaraní missions built in the 17th century. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ruins allow you to step back in time through remarkably preserved structures such as the temple, workshops, family dwellings, and central plaza. The site's layout offers a clear view of the original urban planning developed by the Jesuits and the Guaraní people.
After the guided visit, guests have free time to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or browse the artisan markets. The tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.
Saltos del Moconá (Desde Puerto Iguazú)
Moconá" means “that which swallows everything” in Guaraní. This geological wonder was formed by a massive crack along the basalt bed of the Uruguay River, creating a 3 km-long series of waterfalls up to 20 meters high.
From Puerto Iguazú, the trip covers about 335 km to El Soberbio, from where the final stretch to the falls begins. Although it is offered as a day tour, we highly recommend staying overnight in the area to truly appreciate its beauty.
