Boat ride at the falls in Brazil This is the only boat trip at the falls on the Brazil side. After visiting the falls in Brazil, one can do the macuco safari boat ride at the iguassu falls departing from Brazil. This tour starts 3 km from the falls. One can reach it by park bus, tour company transportation or by taxi. As we arrive at the starting point of the tour, there is a desk for one to buy the ticket. There are lockers available for 2 dollars at the beginning of the tour. There are also more lockers available near the boat departing place. The tour is divided into two stages. It starts with a wagon ride pulled by an electrical cart in the forest with some stops for information about fauna and flora. During the jungle tour, chances to see animals are remote. At a certain point, there is also a walking trail. There is a chance to skip it and go all the way to the pier by jeep. There are two kinds of boats departing one is the dry boat, the other one is the wet boat. One can decide at the pier which one to board. After people wear the raincoats and get ready for the tour, the boat departs upstream for about 3 km until reaching the great Iguassu Falls. One has time for pictures before getting wet under the waterfalls. After people get soaking wet, they return to the pier.
