Operating since 1986, Macuco Safari is a staple of the Foz do Iguaçu experience. The journey begins with a guided tow through the rainforest, where visitors can spot native wildlife like coatis and deer, followed by a short hike to the river. The highlight is the powerful motorboat trip that navigates the rapids to reach the base of the waterfalls, ensuring a soaking but exhilarating encounter with nature. It is a well-organized operation that prioritizes safety, making it a popular choice for families. Be prepared for a multi-stage transport process and plenty of water.

Macuco Safari in Foz do Iguaçu is widely considered a must-do experience for its thrilling boat rides to the Iguazu Falls. Reviewers frequently praise the safety and professionalism of the tour guides, noting that the experience feels well-executed despite the adrenaline. A major highlight for many is the chance to see local wildlife, such as coatis and capybaras, during the initial jungle trek. Families appreciate that children are allowed on the Brazilian side's boat tours, a distinction from the age-restricted options in Argentina. However, some visitors mention that the logistics can be exhausting, involving multiple vehicle transfers and significant wait times as transport only moves when full. Overall, the consensus is that the stunning views and the soaking experience under the falls make the wait worthwhile.
