Description

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at Jangadero, 136 and from there, we'll proceed to the Iryapú Natural Reserve in the Paranaense rainforest.

Upon arrival at this 600-hectare (1,482 acres) area, we'll start our memorable nighttime hike. This tour will explore the customs and traditions of the indigenous Mbya-Guaraní peoples of the region.

This lower-difficulty hike covers a total of 4 km (2.48 miles), showcasing huge trees like rosewoods, guatambus, and cedars. We will also observe strangler fig trees, and a variety of palm trees, ferns, orchids, and fruit trees.

During the tour, expect to see various animal species such as coatis, weasels, cai monkeys, southern tamanduas, short-tailed opossums, and snakes. We may also observe frogs, spiders, and different insects. We will ensure to preserve the habitat by picking up any rubbish encountered during the hike.

Finally, we will return to the starting point of the hike and thereafter to the meeting point in Puerto Iguazú, expected to take approximately 2 hours.
