“I never would have thought to recommend a visit to a power station but the Itaipu Dam was so interesting I would defi nitely suggest it now.

room report There are just two hotels actually


located within the Iguazu National Park – The Sheraton and the Hotel das Cataratas which is owned by Orient Express Hotels. Both of them have superb views and easy access to the Iguazu Falls but staying outside the park, in Iguazu Falls city, is also a convenient base, offers access to a wider range of tourism facilities and is generally less expensive. There are more than 200 hotels


in the city and the group stayed at the Recanto Park Hotel which they thought was excellent with a great pool, fabulous rooms and a good buffet-style restaurant. (www.recantoparkhotel.com.br)


the vibe “Iguazu Falls city is a gentle place that

“I think Iguazu Falls is completely undersold in the UK. Encourage everyone


to add it into their South America itineraries. There will be zero complaints if you do!” Michael O’Brien - Travel 2


“A two-week trip combining the Iguazu Falls with Argentina, Lima and


Machu Picchu would be fantastic and clients could achieve a lot at a leisurely pace” Nicola Thackeray - Sky Media Travel


“iguazu falls is a sight you simply cannot fully


appreciate without going there for yourself. no photo or even 3d movie can prepare you for the scale and for your emotional reaction to it”


enjoyable because you are within a national park and the lush foliage is all very pretty. There are plenty of good facilities along the way too. The hotels we stayed in and the restaurants we used were all great.”
