    Si planeas pasar unos días en Puerto Iguazú, no dejes de visitar este lugar. Integra la cultura guaraní con el paisaje y la conservación. Impactantes construcciones con árboles reciclados y cañas todo obtenido de la zona. Breve pero muy instructiva tarea de los guías. Hay tiendas de artesanías y productos regionales, también un restaurante. En mayo de 2023 el ingreso cuesta $ 1.000

    What an incredible beautiful place. It is absolutely amazing to see the size of the trees humans have destroyed for clearing. And it is noble of this family to have made this place to show the size of the trees that once grew in this tropical forest. It is worth visiting and to explain to children to look after their world

    This is a huge replica of the Indian animal trap built in different species of very old trees. They have a restaurant and souvenirs and don't forget to try their mate ice cream and rosella ice cream!

    I liked the area, it's peacefully. Nice for spending 2 hours. The guided tour is unnecessary because the guide will just repeat what written all around the exposition space. The construction is made with salvaged tree trunks. There are some artisanal shops but it's really expensive. We tried also the ice cream acai, yerba mate y Rosella but none of them tasted as they should but very chemical. You can refill your thermos at the entrance for mate.

    Turist trap avoid. The only thing you have to see there is the trap made of wood (you can see it in the photos in google). There are multiple shops with local products but nothing special or different from the things you can buy in the town (more expensive though). We went because they had good reviews but it's not worth it it was our least favorite thing in Iguazu

    We went to Iguazu with our 2 year old son, so typical tourist location were low on our list, but this place was the one that surprised us most. There were Guarani children singing every so often, and when they weren't singing they were hanging around the back playing. When my son saw them, he ran over to introduce himself, and spent the rest of our visit running around, playing, and even tried to sing along with them. The space is very beautiful, and the giant Aripuca in the middle is a giant reminder that we're inches away from being trapped by our own ways.

    Great experience

    The Aripuca is designed after a little trap the guarani people use. Huge tree trunks were used to build it. Special place. Very sympathic owner.

  • 5/5 Andrea A. 2 years ago on Google
    O local apesar de pequeno é muito organizado e agradável. O atendimento foi excelente. O guia apresentou o local fazendo referência a arapuca que o ser humano tem construído para si mesmo ao longos dos anos com o desmatamento por exemplo. Tem uma arapuca pequena que ele demonstra como é feita a caça pelos povos do local. Após a visitação a grande arábica, com diferentes espécies de árvores, passamos por uma pequena ponte e Cascata de água. O cenário é lindo. Possui uma loja com artigos variados, incluindo a degustação de doces e geleias de produção local que vale a pena saborear.

    Lugar muy relajante , se puede tomar unos mates , y el helado de yerba mate es "rico" , particularmente era muy suave el sabor .

    An exceptional places to go and take a break.

  • 5/5 Andre W. 2 years ago on Google
    Entrance was $500 pesos when I visited. It's a great place to spend a slow afternoon. The property is nice and the structures they've created are pretty amazing. The short tour (which they also offered in English) was meaningful and gave enough information to appreciate the property. There is a restaurant on property and souvenir shops.

    Ahórrate el dinero. The place is beautiful but the overall experience is quite disappointing. Basically, you pay to go inside a tourist complex where you can buy souvenirs or food/drinks. The guided tour lasts less that 5 min and for the most part, entails an explanation of what you can buy in each of the enclosures. Save your money.

    great place to hang out, shop, eat & drink. the environment is really pretty and nice

  • 4/5 María Laura A. 4 years ago on Google
    A place to visit!! It's a reminder to take Nature into account! You are going to find a 1000 year old tree.

  • 2/5 Andrea C. 5 years ago on Google
    Kind of a delusion. We didn't really know this place, so we didn't have any expectations, but it is not worth a visit in my opinion. There's a souvenir shop where you can avoid the heat, since it has air conditioning, but there's not much else to see. The tour lasts like 5 minutes, and then you can just wander around and go inside the big construction.

    Great place to buy handmade items and jewelry.

    This is a place out of the world. It doesn't look too huge from the outside, but when you get in there are many amazing things to see.

👍👍 Super fun tourist trap! Open bar in a cool 😎 setting. Half an hour of all you can drink for approx $9 USD. Not exactly a life changing experience but a good time overall.

👍👍 This is a life time trip. You have to come and try it out. The waterfall view is impressive and you can only experience this on the Argentinean side. They are the only one with access to the devils thraught. You cannot get this close in Brazil...plus 80% of the falls are in Argentina. If you want to...
