One thing is for sure, you won’t leave the Iguazu Falls feeling let down. Having seen the Iguazu falls from both Argentina and Brazil, hiking to the Devil’s Throat, having them crash down over us in a boat, and now highlighting what it’s like to fly over them in a helicopter, the only regret I left with was not having more time to really experience them. While I felt like I saw them from 3 distinct vantage points, I would have enjoyed spending more time hiking the Argentinian side, and splurging on a stay at the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas ( the hotel with the red tile roof ).

I have every intention of coming back to the Iguazu Falls someday when the world has reopened, but until then, I’ve gotten a lot of enjoyment out of rewatching videos from my trip in 2018. I hope this video gives you a little dose of the magnificence of the falls, and inspires you to add it to your bucket list.

Details on the Helicopter Tour we took 11/18

After a relatively quick transfer from Argentina to Brazil we headed to the main entrance of the national park, but just before entering you’ll see on your left HeliSul, a helicopter tour company that services the falls. We asked our driver if he thought we had enough time since we wanted to do the boat tour as well ( and had a plane to catch in the afternoon ) and he encouraged us to go for it. I’m so glad that he did, because as luck would have it, we waited less than 20-30 minutes. We were off and running, and if you want a GoPro video of your tour you can buy that afterwards. I filmed it all on my own which you can view down below. One thing that struck me was how far away we were from the falls and how much of the preserve we flew over to actually get to the falls.
