Surucuá

Top choice in Iguazú Falls


Run by a welcoming young Misiones couple, this is a right-in-the-jungle escape from the crowds. There's just four comfortable rooms with wooden floors that blend in nicely with the surroundings as well as a light-filled common area where Laura's delicious home-cooked meals featuring local ingredients are served. Relaxation is guaranteed with a swimming pool and no mobile coverage.

Activities including jungle walks and memorable kayaking among river islands. It's a bird watcher's paradise, with 200+ species recorded including trogons, toucans, hummingbirds and manakins. Birdwatching excursions are excellent: Adrián is a really knowledgeable guide.

Multinight stays are cheaper. Rates include all meals and transfers from Andresito which includes a visit to the local yerba mate cooperative in season. Andresito is served by five daily buses from Puerto Iguazú.
