Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil · private groups · English-speaking guide
Iguassu ONE runs private tours at Iguazu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, in two formats: a private car or SUV for 1 to 3 travelers, with an English-speaking guide as an option, or an exclusive 15-seat Mercedes Sprinter van for 4 to 14 travelers with the English-speaking guide already included. Both sides of the falls, Paraguay, city tour and airport transfers — priced per vehicle, not per person.
Two formats · one rule
Most tours sold at Iguazu are shared: a van collects strangers from different hotels and follows a fixed clock. Here the vehicle is yours. That matters for families with children, friends traveling together, small corporate groups, and anyone who wants to cross the border to Argentina or Paraguay without queuing twice.
Up to three travelers ride in a private car or SUV and choose whether to add an English-speaking guide. From four travelers the group gets the exclusive Sprinter van with the guide already on board — because the guide takes a seat, and four people plus a guide no longer fit in a car. Per person, the van is the cheapest way to do Iguazu privately: with 14 travelers the Argentine side works out at about R$204 per person for transport and guide.
Up to 3 travelers + driverEnglish-speaking guide optional — takes the 4th seat
A sedan or SUV with driver. Add an English-speaking guide if you want the falls explained; without one, your driver speaks Portuguese and Spanish and handles the whole logistics — parking, tickets, border queue.
4 to 14 travelers in one 15-seat vanEnglish-speaking guide already on board — included in the price shown
A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with driver and an English-speaking guide on board, closed to your group. Two price bands, 4–8 and 9–14, and the same van either way — you only pay more when you fill more seats.
Prices per vehicle and per person
The vehicle and the guide are one price per tour; park tickets are per person. Pick the tours, set the group, and the planner divides the vehicle by everyone in it — the number no shared-tour price list shows you.

Change the group size and the per-person number recalculates. Tickets are per traveler; the vehicle and the guide are counted once.
Eight routes · three countries · one vehicle
Brazil · Iguaçu National Park
About four hours in the park: the panoramic walkway that faces Devil's Throat from the Brazilian bank, ending on the walkway inside the spray. Same-day optional stops with transport already included in the price: Bird Park, helicopter flight, Macuco Safari boat. The park runs its own buses from the visitor center to the trailhead, and tickets are timed — we buy the slot that fits the group.
Argentina · Iguazú National Park
A full day from Foz: border crossing, Upper Circuit and Lower Circuit with the ecological train between stations, and Devil's Throat whenever the official park status says it is open. The vehicle and the guide cross the border with you and wait — no shuttle timetable, no second taxi negotiation on the Argentine side.
Brazil + Argentina · one day
Possible for early risers: Brazilian side first because it is shorter, border crossing, Argentine side after lunch — or the reverse, depending on your flights. The driver and guide stay with you across the border. Expect a long day, two admissions and a border that is never on a timetable. If you have two nights, we will tell you honestly that one country per day is the better plan.
This route is priced by hand for your dates — car 1–3, van 4–8 or van 9–14 — and sent in writing with the park tickets itemized. Nothing is estimated on this page.
Argentina · falls + town
Falls in the morning, then the town: Hito Tres Fronteras (the Argentine Three Borders landmark), La Aripuca, the local market for wine, cheese and alfajores, and the Duty Free shop on the way back to the bridge. Return to Foz around 19:00 — the border is quieter in the early evening.
This route is priced by hand for your dates — car 1–3, van 4–8 or van 9–14 — and sent in writing with the park tickets itemized. Nothing is estimated on this page.
Paraguay · Ciudad del Este
Electronics, perfumes and spirits at Paraguayan prices, across the Friendship Bridge from Foz. The vehicle waits, carries the bags and takes you to the streets and malls that are worth your time. Bring your passport; check your own country's customs allowance for the way home before you buy.
This route is priced by hand for your dates — car 1–3, van 4–8 or van 9–14 — and sent in writing with the park tickets itemized. Nothing is estimated on this page.
Brazil · Foz do Iguaçu
Itaipu is one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the world and sits minutes from town; the panoramic visit runs on Itaipu's own buses with timed departures, about an hour and ten minutes, daily. The Chen Tien Buddhist temple and the Omar Ibn Al-Khattab mosque are free to visit; the Brazilian Three Borders landmark closes the afternoon over the meeting of the Iguaçu and Paraná rivers.
This route is priced by hand for your dates — car 1–3, van 4–8 or van 9–14 — and sent in writing with the park tickets itemized. Nothing is estimated on this page.
IGU Foz do Iguaçu · IGR Puerto Iguazú
Meet-and-greet at arrivals with your name, help with the luggage, and — for IGR in Argentina — the border crossing on the way to your hotel in Foz. One price per vehicle each way; the same van that will run your tour days, so the driver is not a stranger by the time you reach the falls.
This route is priced by hand for your dates — car 1–3, van 4–8 or van 9–14 — and sent in writing with the park tickets itemized. Nothing is estimated on this page.
Brazil · evening
The evening most groups add: a reserved table, unlimited self-service buffet with desserts, and a Latin American stage show. We book the table — it is not sold without a reservation — and the vehicle takes the group out and back. With the guide on board, someone translates what is happening on stage.
Prices read live from our database in BRL; USD and EUR are the European Central Bank reference of 2026-10-02, rounded down. Routes marked “Ask for a quote” have no published tier yet and are priced by hand for your dates.
Real vehicle · real photos
A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with 15 seats — 14 travelers plus the driver — central air conditioning, individual reclining seats with seat belts, a side door with a step, and a rear luggage compartment behind the last row.
A sedan or SUV with driver — the exact model depends on the date and is named in your written quote. We do not publish a stock photo of a car we might not send; the van above is the one you get.
Documents · time · what we handle
Every traveler shows a valid original document at both borders; we check the whole group days in advance, handle the vehicle papers and the queue, and pick up and return only in Foz do Iguaçu.
Brazil e-Visa — the government-authorized portal ↗Carry the passport itself — Argentina accepts the original or a legalized copy, never a phone photo. US, Canadian and Australian citizens have needed a Brazilian e-Visa since April 10, 2025 (up to 90 days), issued only through the official portal linked below. Other nationalities: confirm with your consulate before you fly.
A national ID card in good condition, or — within 50 km of the border, which covers Puerto Iguazú and Ciudad del Este — a valid physical driver's license. Beyond 50 km (Wanda, San Ignacio) only the ID card or passport is accepted.
A child crossing without both parents needs the absent parent's notarized authorization under Argentine rules. Tell us the family arrangement when you book and we check the documents days before, not at the barrier.
20 to 60 minutes each way depending on the day; Saturdays and holidays queue longer. We handle the vehicle papers, the passenger list and the queue; you stay in the vehicle for most of it.
Pickup and return are in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. We do not collect groups in Puerto Iguazú or Ciudad del Este that we did not bring there — say so before you book the hotel, not after.
Brazil · Argentina · Paraguay
Day 1 — Brazilian side, Bird Park and, if the group wants it, the helicopter or the Macuco boat; Rafain dinner show in the evening. Day 2 — Argentine side, full day, with the Puerto Iguazú stops on the way back if time allows.
Add the Ciudad del Este shopping morning, or a free morning and the Foz city tour with Itaipu in the afternoon. Three nights is the comfortable pattern: arrive before day 1, leave after day 3.
We send the plan as a PDF with times, prices per day and per person; you adjust and confirm on WhatsApp. The full two-day plan, hour by hour, is on the 2-day itinerary page.

No — both parks can be visited independently. A private tour saves the border crossing, the taxi negotiations on the other side and the ticket lines, and adds a guide who explains what you are looking at. It makes the most sense for groups: the vehicle costs the same whether two or fourteen people are in it.
Uber and taxis work inside Foz do Iguaçu, but they do not cross the border to Argentina or Paraguay, and they do not wait for you at the park. For a group, two taxis each way plus a separate ride on the Argentine side usually costs more than one private vehicle that stays with you.
They are complementary. The Brazilian side is panoramic and takes half a day; the Argentine side puts you on walkways above and beside the falls and takes a full day. If you have two days, do both — one country per day.
Our tours start and end in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. If you are staying in Puerto Iguazú, contact us before booking so we can tell you honestly whether we can help — the answer depends on the date and the group, and we would rather say no than promise a pickup we cannot make.
Yes. The English-speaking guide is included in the van format and optional in the car format. Availability on your date is confirmed with the written quote; the guide is a separate product from the transport and costs the same whether you ask for English, Spanish or Portuguese.
Because the guide takes a seat. Four travelers without a guide would fit in a car; four travelers with a guide need the van — and from four people up, the van with the guide included is the format we sell.
The vehicle and the guide are priced per vehicle, per tour. Park tickets are per person, at the official price. That is why the per-person number on this page falls as the group grows: with 14 travelers in the van, the Argentine side costs a fraction per head of what a couple pays in a car.
The rear compartment behind the last row takes the suitcases of a full group of 14 for an airport transfer. For tour days, bring only day bags — the space is there, but the seats are more comfortable without bags in the aisle.
Yes, on request, at no extra cost — tell us the child's age, weight and height when booking. Under Brazilian law the seat type depends on the child, so we confirm it in the quote rather than promise a generic seat.
No. We buy them for you and charge the exact price per person, so you skip the ticket line and the surprises. Children up to 5 (Argentina) and up to 6 (Brazil) do not pay; the exact rule for each attraction is on its own page and in your quote.
The 10% deposit confirms the date. The balance is paid in Foz during the tour days: cash in Brazilian reais, US dollars or euros at our counter rate, or a credit card in a single charge with no surcharge. There is no checkout on this website.
The falls are open in the rain and the flow is often stronger; the walkways are safe. Bring a light raincoat. We reschedule only if a park closes — and the live river meter on this site shows how much water is falling today.
Yes — each day and each vehicle is priced separately, and the written quote shows the options side by side. Above 14 travelers the group needs more than one vehicle, and we build that combination by hand instead of showing an automatic number.
Yes: central air conditioning, individual reclining seats with seat belts, and passenger insurance. Our driver-guides hold the registration of Brazil's Ministry of Tourism (Cadastur).
Two to four weeks in high season — July, December to February and Easter; one week the rest of the year. A van for 9–14 travelers blocks the vehicle for the whole day, so earlier is better.
For Brazil, yes: since April 10, 2025, citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia need an electronic visa, applied for only through the government-authorized portal, before travel. For Argentina, requirements depend on your passport — check with your consulate. We check every passport in the group days before the border, not at it.
