At noon we have lunch at a local grill for famous Argentine beef and wines, in the afternoon we visit the San Ignacio and Santa Ana ruins.

On this day we'll change ship for 4x4 vehicles and go on to explore the heart of Misiones jungle. Back on board the Gypsy, on the Piray Miní stream, we'll have dinner and enjoy the sunset chorus of birds. |

Puerto Macuco
Today, in Puerto Macuco we will board a large Avon skiff and go upstream to an introduction of the Iguazú falls. Everything comes together here; birds and butterflies of incredible colors, coatis, colorful iguanas and capuchin monkeys are a common sight. A naturalist will guide you and answer your questions. Miles of walkways that twist through the jungle on the Argentine side give you the possibility to see the many different dramatic views Iguazú has to offer. In the afternoon we will go back to the hotel for a refreshing shower and the farewell dinner. |
