EXPLORE

On the hotel's grounds is the Belvedere Look-out Point, which offers unparalleled views of the falls and a perfect photo opportunity.

In 1986, UNESCO listed Iguassu National Park as a 'Natural Heritage of Humanity' area. The park comprises 700 square miles of forest reserve and is preserved to maintain the area for future generations. The Iguassu Falls are a spectacular collection of 275 waterfalls extending over a length of almost three miles in an enormous canyon on the Iguassu River. There are 19 major waterfalls, the largest of which is the “Devil's Throat,” with the drop of over 290 feet. Only three of the falls -- Floriano, Deodoro and Benjamin Constant -- are located on the Brazilian side with the majority located on the Argentinean side facing Brazil.

Local activities which can be organized through the hotel include helicopter tours over the falls, boat rides through the rapids, four-wheel drive jungle adventures and nature walks within the national park.
