This is a great and exciting experience for active travelers!
On this half day tour the action begins as Movitracks or 4×4 vehicles take you to the launching platform. From there incredible canopy-treks and jungle-walks take you through hanging bridges and rappel climbing. You learn about the local flora and fauna of the Parana River as you fly over the jungle when ziplining or amaze as you rapel over a 12 mt high cascade.
The adventure starts with a 900-meter exploration trek to learn about the native Paranaense flora and fauna. On arrival at the first launching platform we get into the special equipment needed for the rest of the activities.
Our next highlight will start as we fly towards the second platform with a 300-meter zip line at the height of 70 meters. From there we will descend walking on a path towards the ravine of the Parana river where our next quest will take place.
The 3rd platform will test our balance. Our task will be to cross 2 bridges of 100 meters each hanging from the jungle trees and then rappel through an irregular ladder towards a waterfall of approximately 12 meters high. Another soft trekking of 1,500 meters will take us to the meeting point.
The experience ends but we can take with us all the wonderful adrenaline Iguazu Jungle has to offer!!

A private initiative with the purpose of preserving and displaying the remains of the “paranaense” rainforest and located 32 kms away from Saltos de Moconá is one of the main purposes of the Rainforest experience at Chacra del Agua (Mocona Waterfalls) at the entrance to the Yaboti Reservation which is protected by the UNESCO.
For a couple of days we stayed in one of the cabins that is a part of this “home lodge” as they call Chacra del Agua. The cabins were built using native wood and the design is an example of the traditional architectural style you will find in Misiones Province which combines German techniques from the XIX century with a strong influence from the Brazilian lifestyle. The cabins were built 1 meter above the ground and are separated 40 meters from each other, for privacy which is one of the main purposes. They are also perfect to enjoy the rainforest in absolute tranquility. Each cabin has a unique and distinctive view. You can gain access to your cabin by taking the wooden footbridge which communicates the cabins with the main building where breakfast and dinner is served. There you can enjoy a relaxing time sharing experiences with the owners Sebastian and Mariana, enjoying a glass of good wine and relaxed talk while they cook. It is really nice being able to share the table with them and other travelers who are staying there.
We enjoy the activities of Chacra del Agua during the day, There are several options such as mountain bike and trekking through the 2.5 km of trails found in the Chacra, One of the most exciting activities was kayaking through the Uruguay river on seat-on-top kayaks. Sebastian, who is also the guide for this experience, took us to remote locations at the entrance of the Yabotí Reservation (Yabotí means turtle in guarani language) guiding us and explaining the environment and the importance of preserving the natural reserve. Sebastian is also a professional photographer, you’ll see him capturing moments with his camera during the activity so travelers can take them back home. The activity takes between 2 and 3 hours. This is the time they’ve estimated for us to enjoy a personalised and unique experience; the good thing about the proposed activities is that they can be adapted to the needs and requests of the travelers, regardless of any earlier experiences they could have had with kayaking.
There is also a pool where you can enjoy a relaxing time reading, while seating on the deck, or refreshing yourself when the weather is hot.
