Travel Tip: The less travelled path in Iguazu

5 stars
Published on Aug 12, 2008 by alecram5 for Cataratas del Iguazú

I was surprised to find out there are almost no walking paths in the Iguazu area. The wildest path inside the Iguazú Park is called the Macuco path. It starts at the entrance of the park and it is about 3 km long.
I was told the path had different levels of difficulty but I find if mostly easy. It was a good chance to get away from the crowds and get the experience of Misiones’ rainforest.
Most of the path is really wide and covered with vegetation. I tried to keep an eye on every leave of the surroundings to catch a sight of the cui monkeys said to be there, but I was not lucky. Birds and butterflies were everywhere however as well as the delightful silence of the rainforest.
At the end of the path there is a small waterfall called Arrechea. This little spot is like a tropical fairy tale scenery, incredibly quiet and magical with the fresh humidity of the rainforest all around.
