Iguaçu Canyon: abseiling, zipline and canopy in the National Park

Direct answer: The Iguaçu Canyon is the adventure field inside Iguaçu National Park (Brazilian side), run by Campo de Desafios since 2003. It offers abseiling (rappel), canopy, zipline and climbing in the rainforest, on the Cataratas Highway, km 27.5, from 9am to 5pm. It is the pick for adrenaline beyond the falls walk. Book ahead in high season; check prices and age limits directly with the operator.

The activities

• Abseiling down the Iguaçu River canyon wall.
• Canopy in stages (elements, zipline, cat-jump, climbing wall).
• Zipline and climbing on wall and rock.

River rafting is run nearby by Macuco/Ecoaventura (see the rafting at the Falls guide).

Location and hours

Cataratas Highway (BR-469), around km 27.5, inside Iguaçu National Park. Open 9am to 5pm. The park ticket is separate.

Before you go

Wear clothes and shoes that can get wet/dirty. Check when to go for shorter queues and combine it with the Falls.
