Then came the idea of offering people the opportunity to do these sports and leisure activities, especially canoeing and hiking (Trecking), in the natural beauties that we have in Foz do Iguaçu, such as rivers, waterfalls and forest rich in fauna and flora.
Our objective is to create activities that connect Leisure, sports and environment, aiming to integrate the people with the natural beauties that we have in Foz do Iguaçu, providing visitors and residents with a beautiful experience, getting to know the beauties of our city, the awareness of the need to rethink and recreate our way of coexisting with everything on the planet, using nature as a source of inspiration and learning.

- Evetei0 contributions❤️Had a wonderful day at the tour, the waterfalls was amazing, what an experience. The guides were lovely and helpful I got nice little facts about the nature too, muito obrigada ❤️Written 18 January 2024
- tonyr6510 contributionsWilderness AdventureThis Eco Sports Adventure is amazing and more natural that I ever imagined. The hosts are truly passionate about sharing there love of the area and the beautiful environment The adventure is not sanitised so you need to be prepared for some nice moderate hiking. After checking in we hiked to the canoe and kayak base camp about 1 km, there were 10 of us plus the hosts, we got our safety gear and safety briefing and went down to the river. My wife and I have been kayaking before so we got a kayak to ourselves, but they have individual vessels if you prefer. The hosts offer as much help and guidance as you need but also give you space to have you own adventure. We made our way down the river about 2 km and set ashore to take the tributary trail to a small waterfall. This is a forest path through the wild and is moderately challenging which adds to the experience of being away from normal conditions. It is probably 2km to the waterfall by which time everyone was in the mood to get into the water (see pictures) The guides showed us the best way to enter and move around in that water (I never took my phone on the Kayak, all the pictures and film are from a host with a go pro helmet cam and distributed later) We probably stayed 30 minutes in the water before heading back to the Kayaks and canoes and paddling back to base camp It was truly a great experience and I would like to thank the Eco Sports team for making my holiday one I will remember. Thank you!!! I will definitely be going back Do not miss this opportunity if you are ever in FozWritten 24 December 2020
- 241alessandrac0 contributionsExpédition Iguaçu - sentiers, canoë kayak, cascadesWe had a wonderful time with the team, walking through the forrest, kayaking on the Iguazú River and, last but not least, bathing in the Tamandua River and small waterfalls. If you are looking for something away from the crowds and close to the nature this tour would absolutely do the trick! We recommend 100%!Written 7 January 2020
- 347madhuriv0 contributionsNov 28 2019 - AguarayThis was one of the BEST experiences!!! There is a 1km trek down to the river to kayak and then about a 2km kayak down the river. Further, a 2 km trek to waterfalls where u can take a dip. It’s organized very well. We were able to manage with an 8-yr old but the trek can be strenuous for those who aren’t used to it. Our guides Jefferson and Olivie and Lucas were super warm and friendly. A must do in Iguazu!!Written 1 December 2019
- ohrwaschlkaktus0 contributionsExtraordinary - I'd always come backFar away from all the tourism of the place, this expedition will take you to pure nature. The guides are very attentive, pointing out every unique bit of nature you come across and helping wherever it might be needed. You can feel their love for what they're doing. Getting there might be a bit difficult - we went by Uber and our driver asked for the way twice. Don't worry when the road ends and there's only chicken left, this is exactly the place. After registration, a path will take you down to Iguacu river, where the kayaks await you. With those you navigate along the river to another path, next to a stream that you can climb up and swim in. Going back you will stop at another waterfall to enjoy before heading back to the farm. Though we were only two, no-one looked at the clock and we spent about 3.5 hours. Special thanks for taking us back to the main road! I really have no words for how awesome this experience was! I just felt alive there. Thank you so much!Written 9 September 2019
- SairaBeFree0 contributionsA fantastic day in IguazuAn excellent guide showed us nature in the region - so much closer up and more sporty than experiences in the national park. Just the right level of adventure and comfort. Highly recommend if you are in the region, thank youWritten 28 August 2019
- alicat00780 contributionsWorthwhile, good workout, great companyLucas and Diego were excellent hosts. They showed us around the beautiful small farm at the site of Aguaray and we got a chance to try their produce. Then we went on a hike and canoe on the Iguazu river. Diego provided great information on local highlights and flora and fauna. We really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know them and a better understanding for the area! If you’re hungry afterwards, ask them for recommendations for lunch! We had the pleasure of being introduced to a very local spot that served delicious chicken.Written 27 May 2019
- Conor M0 contributionsAmazing tour, amazing serviceI went with 2 other people (24-26 years old). I cannot speak highly enough about this tour. It was a beautiful tour, a lot of fun, great views, and amazing service. One of the guide took 4 of us back to our hostel because he was heading that way anyways. They’re incredibly nice, very knowledgeable, and an incredible time. Would highly recommend this tour over almost everything in this city. Amazing.Written 9 May 2019
- Karim-Haikal0 contributionsSecret SpotsIt was great. Small hikes, a short Kanu trip and a small waterfall in the middle of the forest. Since we were a small group the probability to see wildlife was much higher. The guides are friendly and speak English.Written 15 April 2019
- AnnignaH0 contributionsAmazing Tour!Dear Diego and Jefferson We would like to thank you for the day! It was just literally amazing! The Tour with the Kayak was just awesome! and the little waterfalls we saw afterwards! I will never forget that! We just had such an amazing time with you guys and would do it again for sure! Thank you for this experience! We just had loads of fun! We did it even barefoot! Just like the indians ;) See you!Written 28 February 2019
- Rebecca T0 contributionsNice surprise and great option for a sunny afternoonWe had a free afternoon and had a pleasant surprise of going with Aguaray for this tour. Overall experience was great, staff was friendly, responsive (contacted them on Whatsapp) and attentive. Jeferson was our guide and he was friendly, easygoing and careful. The hike is easy but be advised that it does require you to walk inside the forest, some areas are muddy and sometimes the trail is quite narrow. Kayaking (SUP available too) was chill and nice. First waterfall is the most enjoyable, with space for everyone. Wear sneakers/shoes that are appropriate for walking and stepping on rocks. You'll get wet and it will be great with the hot weather around there. Enjoy!Written 1 January 2019
- Varchasvi0 contributionsAmazing!The tour was really amazing. We had a warm welcome, followed by an informative hike to the bank of the river. Then we had kayaking for next 60 mins. It was really really good. The kayaking was followed by a relaxing time under a small water falls. All in all the whole tour was one of the best we have had. A must at Foz do Iguacu!Written 11 November 2018
- Joost v0 contributionsGreat experience!We enjoyed every part of the tour so much! Lovely guys, great views, nice hike, some kayaking. Definitely one of our Iguazu highlights! Also no massa tourism and the money goes directly to the guys what we like very much!Written 25 September 2018

I loved it so much, that it was my second time!
The tour starts with a trail to the base of the Iguaçu River. The walk is very pleasant and the guide tells us a little bit more about the local biome. My group got lucky enough to see a large family of Coatis walking on the ground around us and also up in the trees, really close to us. It was wonderful!
At the canoeing base we received all the equipment and safety instructions needed for the next part of the adventure. Even if it is your first time paddling, with the host's instructions you can easily use an individual kayak and enjoy the descent down the Iguaçu River, which has calm waters; but if you feel more comfortable, you can also go in a canoe along with some of the hosts, and enjoy it likewise.
After paddling for about 2 km, we took another trail to visit the Tamanduá Waterfall, which is fascinating, delightful, and peaceful. The connection with nature is incredible! The hosts guide us all the time, both on the trail and at the waterfall, so that we can explore the waters safely. On our way back, we passed by the Juruvá Waterfall, where we stopped for a quick shower and took some more pics. The tour lasts about 3 hours, and it is a perfect blend of adventure and contemplation. The hosts are very welcoming, caring and fun! It is a must-do for all tribes and ages. One of the best tours in Foz, undoubtedly!

It was an amazing time with a great adventure in the trail, the caique and waterfalls.
Since the beginning the reception was amazing and we become part of aguaray team.
The guides are so professionals and we feel confident with their support and also they gave us time to enjoy the trip in the waterfalls and the nature.
Also them speaks with us and explain about the nature and the trip also in English and in portuguese, that was nice cause I can enjoyed much more and feel part of the group.

My wife and I went to this eco sports attraction last week. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and professional. Our main guide, Diego, was very knowledgeable, and he is one of at least two guides that is fluent in English. We enjoyed every part of the experience, from the hike to the kayaking to the waterfalls. If you vacation in Foz de Iguacu, this is definitely a must-do. It was a really fantastic time!

We had a wonderful time on this expedition, and we highly recommend to everyone visiting Iguazu. The staff are friendly, informative, trilingual, fun, and knowledgeable. They know these trails down to every single rock and water current. They made sure we had plenty of pictures, and they taught us about the river, flora, and fauna. I enjoyed getting to know the guides personally and learning from their expertise. It was safe and fun adventure! The hike is short and beautiful. The guides makes sure you are safe and aware of any holes or steep inclines. We all had a great time!

Unbelievable experience with wildlife tour followed by a kayak on the river and waterfall swimming. 10/10 the guys are full of local knowledge and happy to help with anything and explain loads of detail about wildlife & fauna. One of us got bitten by a random bug, within minutes the guide pulled out and applied bite cream and looked after it. Would definitely do this again

One of the best tours we took in the city, it was a lot of fun! Although the flow rate at Cataradas was well above normal, the entire route was completed safely! Special thanks to Jefferson and the other very good guide who took us on the kayaking route (sorry to forget his name)!!! We will definitely go back and do this tour again, just with a different route!!! Thanks!!

Awesome trip - it was just us with the guides and they were really helpful and had lots of interesting information. We kayaked down a little bit of the Iguacu river then walked through the forest to a waterfall where we were able to get in and climb about. Make sure you wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet (not flip flops)! Highly recommended - it was a great experience and excellent value for money.

Great trip! You will have to exercise a bit more than in your typical holiday trip, since the hike is not super easy and there is the canoeing part, but both my kids, 5 and 7-years old, loved it. The whole thing takes around 3h. Do bring some water, insect repellent and, if you have kids, maybe a towel for them if the weather is not that hot.

We really enjoyed this experience. It was nice to get away from the crowds and the guides were so knowledgeable and friendly. We had an hour walking in the jungle where we learned about some of the plants and saw monkeys overhead. Then we got into plastic kayaks and paddled for about 30 minutes to a waterfall. We splashed around in the waterfall for a half hour and reversed the trip. Our route might have been a little different because the river is very high right now. I wore a bathing suit and sneakers--very useful to have sneakers because the bottom is rocky at the waterfall and the current was moderate. I had a skirt to change into at the end. The guides will keep you safe. We took a taxi from our hotel. I had a blast and would highly recommend this activity.

The guides are super attentive and concerned about our well-being. We did it on a cloudy day, after rain, so the trail was medium level. The hardest part was paddling back against the current, which was a little strong. Incredible experience, super worth it! Incredible view, great waterfalls! Try to wear non-slip shoes that can get dirty/wet a lot.

Eles recomendam 10 anos. Mas acho que cada pai sabe das dificuldades dos filhos. A primeira trilha é mto tranquila, já depois que passa pelo rio dificulta um pouco. Se eu tivesse com a minha filha de 11 anos certeza que ela ia ter dificuldade pq ela é bem molenga kkk porém sei que tem crianças mto mais ativas que iriam tranquilamente. Enfim. De 10 para cima é uma boa dependendo da criança, menos que isso acho besteira levar.
