Macuco Safari: the boat tour that goes into the waterfall
2026 prices, reduced fares, and how it differs from Argentina's Gran Aventura
Macuco Safari, the boat tour that reaches the base of the Falls on the Brazilian side, costs R$384 (jungle trail + boat) in 2026, with reduced fares for children aged 7 to 11, students, seniors and local residents. You also need the park entrance ticket. On the Argentine side, the equivalent is Gran Aventura, which goes into two waterfalls.
The tour: an electric wagon along the jungle trail + an inflatable boat upriver until you get drenched by the Falls. It soaks EVERYTHING — bring spare clothes and a cover for your backpack (or use the boat's dry bags).
2026 prices (official Macuco Safari):
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Macuco Safari (jungle + boat) | R$384 |
| Macuco Selva (no boat) | R$192 |
| Macuco Safari + Rafting | R$576 |
| Private (min. 4 people) | R$767/person |
Reduced fares: children 7-11, students, seniors and local residents. Small children cannot board the boat. Important: the tour is inside the National Park — add the park entrance ticket to your budget.
Macuco vs. Gran Aventura (AR): the Argentine one goes into two waterfalls (more extreme, more volume); the Brazilian one has the more complete jungle trail. People who do both sides usually pick a single waterfall soaking — the Argentine side is the most intense.
