12. Are there any interesting extra excursions to take?
The excursions programmed in your itinerary will allow you to take the most from the Falls. On the other hand, always there is more that you can do at this wonderful destination.
You can take The Boat Tour "Great Adventure"
The boat tour under the falls is the cherry of the pie. It is a fantastic ride in the river, that gives you a completely different perspective of the falls. Get ready to get wet (as if you had just taken a bath. Do not worry about your things: they will give you a bag to store your camera and things you want to protect from the water. Tip: take your shoes off and put them in the bag as well (yes, it is a big bag).
The tour costs around USD70 per person and you can make the reservation with Valeria Duek (take in account that this rate is subject to change) or you can do it in Iguazu at the Visitors Center in the National Park. It also includes a tour in an open track through the jungle. The track part can be either before or after the boat. We highly recommend to make it after, since it is such a pleasure to feel the wind and get dry with it after the boat.
This optional excursion will take place on the day 2 of your itinerary (the day you are visiting the Argentinean side of the falls). So no need to take a late flight.
Duration: one hour.
13. Tips

Bring a bag to protect your camera just in case, but leave your rain coat at home!
