The park has many tourist attractions to be seen and the Macuco Safari boat trip is one of them. The park has many tourist attractions to be seen and the Macuco Safari boat trip is one of them. Such adventure generates adrenaline and relaxation at the same time. After passing by the MacucoVisitorCenter and receiving some tips on the tour, the tourists can appreciate fauna and flora of the park in an electric car that runs a trail of three kilometers. Before venturing on the boat trip, the instructor indicates an optional hike for those who want to know more about life in the forest. By the wharf, tourists receive instructions to put on plastic raincoats (so they don´t get wet), life jackets and protect their electronic equipment before getting into the bi-motor rubber dinghy where they will embark the most fantastic adventure - watch the waterfalls from the bottom.
The first waterfalls are called "The Three Musketeers". At that point, the pilot brings the boat close enough to the falls to provide the tourists with a fast and pleasant shower - it is the baptism under a fall of 80 meters in height. At last, it returns through the rapids of IguaçuRiver down to a large backwater where adventurers can leap out and swim.
A little calmer but also attractive, the BirdsPark is settled in front of the gateway of the IguaçuNational Park. It shelters over 900 birds of 180 species and forms a patchwork of colors and sounds. Brazilian birds predominate; however, species from Africa, Asia and Australia are also represented.

During about 40 minutes the tourists can cover the aviaries arranged along the trail that is located in the middle of the subtropical forest. There are dozens of birds of all sizes, colors and species, which ranges from the curious macaw, to the flamingos that keep walking proudly in front of a mirror. There are also anacondas, alligators, boas, sakis and butterflies.
On that site a work on education, research and environmental conservation is developed. The BirdPark has parking lot, snack bar and souvenir shop in a pleasant forest environment. One can photograph or even touch some docile birds.
The butterfly and the reptile zoos are also important attractions. Snakes and alligators are kept just a few meters from the curious and alert look of the tourists.
"The Iguaçu Falls exerts such attraction thanks to its magnificence and great number of waterfalls - 275 total. It is located in the Iguaçu National Park which was declared by UNESCO a World Natural Heritage Site in 1986. The Iguaçu Falls reveals impressiveness and power through its wilderness of waters, provides a unique spectacle and is defined as a wonder of nature. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world, from kings and queens, princes and princesses, presidents, artists and other famous personalities to anonymous tourists include Foz do Iguaçu in their itinerary.
To reach the greatest natural show on Earth the visitor takes a 12 kilometer road that crosses the reservoir from the VisitorCenter to the beginning of the footbridge. From there it is possible to wonder at the first look of the Falls. The departure point allows one to have a panoramic view of SanMartinIsland and many waterfalls located on the Argentine side, but the Brazilian side offers a better vision.
Along the way, visitors can stop here and then to register the natural beauty with their cameras. Tourists will be dazzled by the Devil´s Throat mass of water, the most famous and greatest set of waterfalls. By the end, visitors will enjoy getting closer to Salto Floriano waterfall and have a great time in the comfortable Naipi Site made up of decks, panoramic elevator, snack bars and souvenir shops".
