Benefits Of Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls Tours

By Sharron Cantu


Traveling to foreign nations can be an intimidating venture. There are hundreds of details that need to be tended to before you board the flight to another country. Using tour companies can help to ease the stress of dealing with these details. They will help with reservations for flights and hotels as well as give advise as to what documents you will need to have in your possession prior to entering a foreign nation. In South America you can arrange to travel with impunity using Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls tours.

Because these two sites are located in different parts of this continent there are not a lot of tour companies who offer these specific destinations. The river and waterfalls make up the boarders between Brazil and Argentina closer to the east coast. The Inca's ruins are found in the mountains of Peru.

Touring the waterfalls can occur from either side of the river although crossing from one side to the other can result in your needing visas for both countries. The trip across can be accomplished by following a series of plank board walks and observation platforms. There are more than two hundred seventy different waterfalls in this one location that covers a little over a mile and a half of river surface.

You are also able to access the waterfalls from the lower river level. On this tour you will see the cloud forest first hand along with the wild life and butterflies that are abundant in this area. The roar of these falls has been called deafening at the base and they create a permanent mist that creates rainbows when viewed from the proper angles in sunlight.

Leaving Argentina and heading for Peru will take you to the Andes Mountains and the Lost City of the Incas. The Sacred Valley of Machu Picchu harbors this city that was rediscovered in 1911. You will be able to access it by train which takes around four hours one way or by shuttle bus from closer locations that are about thirty minutes in duration.

Most travelers arrange for lodging for at least one night prior to touring this archaeological site. The site opens at seven in the morning and closes at five thirty in the evening. It will be necessary to reserve your passes to this site prior to your arrival. Tickets are not sold at the entrance and numbers are limited by the government.

Lunches and refreshments must be purchased outside the grounds at any vendors or restaurants that are located there. Food and drinks are not allowed any where inside the ruins. If you have stayed in the town overnight your hotel may provide you with a box lunch before you depart for the day.

With the help of a proper tour company you will be able to spend a week or ten days exploring the most exciting sites in South America without having to worry that you have not taken care of all the necessary details before leaving. They will provide you with information and detailed lists of all documents, shots and supplies you will need to make this a trip to remember.
