On arrival, you’ll be warmly greeted and chauffeured to your choice of hotel: The deluxe Gran Melia Hotel inside Argentina’s Iguazú National Park, the nearby Iguazu Grand Resort, or the 5-star Belmond Das Cataratas, the only hotel located in Brazil’s Iguaçu National Park. While the region’s indigenous inhabitants certainly knew of its thundering beauty (Iguassu means “Big Water” in the local Guarani language), the Falls were officially “discovered” in 1541 by the Spanish Conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. This afternoon, you’ll join our expert guide for an in-depth tour encompassing the breathtaking view points on the Brazilian side of Iguassu Falls. With our hotels’ privileged locations inside the National Parks of Argentina and Brazil, you can continue exploring on your own even after the Parks have closed.
