Beyond the Falls trail, the park has rainforest paths included in the ticket — how to do them
Beyond the famous Falls trail, Iguaçu National Park has other Atlantic Forest paths: Poço Preto (9 km, on foot or by bike, with a boat ride at the end) and Bananeiras (1.3 km to the river). Access is included in the ticket; book a day and time.
Direct answer: Beyond the Falls trail, Iguaçu National Park has rainforest paths included in the ticket. The Poço Preto trail is 9 km (on foot or by bike, about 4h walking, with an observation tower and a boat ride at the end) and is great for wildlife. The Bananeiras trail is 1.3 km to the Iguaçu River bank (Espaço Taupá, with a deck). There are also the São João Circuit and the Canafístula trail. Book a day and time when buying your ticket.
Poço Preto trail
9 km through the Atlantic Forest, on foot (~4h) or by bike, with stops for wildlife, the Casamata tower and a boat ride at the end. Great for birdwatching. Walking access is usually 9am–12pm; by bike, later.
Bananeiras trail
1.3 km to the Iguaçu River bank, home to the Espaço Taupá, with a deck and a view of the river that forms the falls. Shorter and quiet.
How to do it
All of this is included in the park ticket; buy online and book a day and time at cataratasdoiguacu.com.br. Combine it with the Falls trail and check when to go.
