Day 1: Iguassu Falls
Tranfer from International Airport to the hotel.
Today visit the Brazilian Falls. The Park is located in the westernmost region of the state of Paran‡, in the Iguaçú river basin, 17km from downtown Foz do Iguaçú. It borders Argentina, where the Iguazu National Park, which was implemented in 1934, is located. The border between the two countries and their national parks is made by the Iguaçú river, whose source is near the Serra (mountain range) do Mar near Curitiba and runs for 18 km throughout the state of Paraná.
The most spectacular sightseeing of the park is the Iguaçú Falls, which form a 2,700m wide semi-circle, while the waterfalls filled visitors with awe as they watch the water foam that plunges down from a height of 72m.
Visit the park's visitor's center with its exhibition of the local eco-system. Continue down the Cataratas Highway through the rainforest of the park to the falls. Descending a walkway, you can contemplate the lovely waterfalls in all of nature's exuberance, with panoramic views of both sides of the falls - Brazil and Argentina. Reaching the elevator, you can ascend to have a bird's eye view over the falls from the lookout.
Overnight in the Hotel International Sheraton. The hotel was built in 1978 and remodeled in 2000. It has a spectacular location inside the Iguazœ National Park and falls view rooms are available.

The Iguazœ Falls on the border with Brazil are one of the world's natural wonders.
Lined with dense forests, the Iguazœ river flows into 275 waterfalls, plunging more than 70 meters with a deafening noise. As this huge volume of water reaches the bottom, spray rises, and lots of rainbows are formed in the sky.
An incredible variety of fauna and flora completes the perfect setting for the waterfalls within the protection of the Iguazœ National Park.
Start this tour following a scenic highway up to the Argentine Iguazu Park. Visit starts with ample time to visit the upper falls on the Argentinian side, including the San Martin Falls and the Devil's Throat.
Then tranfer to Posadas and accomoadtion in the Irupe Lodge.
Day 3: Jesuit Missions Ruins
Breakfast in the Lodge and excurtion to San Ignacio jesuit missions ruins.
San Ignacio Miní was one of the many missions founded in 1632 by the Jesuits in the Americas during the Spanish colonial period near present-day San Ignacio valley, some 60km south of Posadas.
The ruins are one of the best preserved among the several build in a territory today belonging to Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, and one of the most visited due to its accessibility. Lost in dense vegetation, the remains of the "Guaraní baroque" stile constructions were found in 1897, and gained the interest of the population after the 1903 expedition by poet Leopoldo Lugones, but its restoration didn't begin until 1940.
In 1984 the ruins were declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and currently hold the Museo Jesu’tico de San Ignacio Miní museum.
Transfer back to the Irupe Lodge and dinner.

The Esteros are the second-largest wetlands in world after Pantanal in Brazil. They are of pluvial origin, with a total area 15,000 to 20,000 km². Since 1982, the wetlands are part of a protected area (the Iberá Natural Reserve), which comprises 13,000 km² (14% of the surface area of Corrientes, the largest protected area in Argentina). Iberá is also one of the most important fresh water reservoirs in the continent.
The Natural Reserve is known for its biodiversity, including four species that have been declared "provincial natural monuments": the neotropical river otter, the maned wolf, the pampas deer, and the marsh deer.
