Always good.
Small group, well led, safe & comfortable but not luxurious.
Free time on some days, and some very full-on days.

Iguazzu Falls are spectucular and not to be missed when visiting South America. This was an enjoyable spectacular trip of a lifetime - a few too many border crossings that should be reduced to level up the expereince.

Initially, I was reluctant to visit Iguazu as I thought its just another waterfall, but when I saw the beauty of this waterfall I was speechless. You have to visit this place to experience the beauty and enormity.
The Macuco safari & boat trip to under the waterfall I am not going to forget ever.
Since I was unable to visit the Argentina side of the waterfall, I was able to spend the day at the Itaipu Dam and also the 3 fronteiras (borders).
What a memorable trip.
