Activity itinerary

Day 1 – Meeting point in Puerto Iguazú / Yacutinga Lodge (D) 2:00pm.: Encounter at our meeting point in Puerto Iguazú. 2:30pm: Departure from our meeting point through the Iguassu National Park. The landscape is very picturesque, characterized by its reddish soil, the various shades of greens, the colonist and Yerba Mate farms. 5:00pm: Arrival to Yacutinga Lodge, welcome and room distribution.  Presentation: The jungle and its state of conservation. Through this presentation the guide in charge will explain to the new guests the environmental situation of the ecosystem they are visiting. Overnight. Day 2: Yacutinga Lodge (B/L/D) After the breakfast, early in the morning floating trip along the San Francisco stream gentle waters, which flows through the exclusive Yacutinga Reserve. The Forest water streams are highly important for the Ecosystem: they are true life corridors. Paddling these waters is extremely relaxing and gives us the opportunity to move along the gallery forests in silence. In this environment, seed dispersal occurs differently. Root systems have adapted to flood soils. Salt patches are very common on the shores of these streams, and wild animals often seek these places, therefore it is common to find animal footprints and traces in the muddy shores. This eco-tour lasts almost 3 hours. Back to the Lodge at mid-morning followed by lunch. Free time to enjoy the facilities of the Lodge (swimming pool, bar or a good nap at a hammock etc.). Interpretative walks in the afternoon, conducted by expert guides who provide environmental information on the several habitats, their flora and fauna. This reserve is an environment highly rich in biodiversity. Ancient trees, medicinal plants, orchids, bromeliads, butterflies, beetles, birds and mammals combine to provide the key to interpretation and astonish us with a very intense natural contact inside Misiones Forest. Dinner. Night walk: We wait for the night to come. The sounds of nature produce a very complex symphony. We silently take part of this scene. The owls start their activities. Above us, the Milky Way becomes our ceiling. This might be a suitable description of this walk organized by Yacutinga Lodge's environmental guides. The aim is to sharpen our senses. Overnight. Day 3: Yacutinga Lodge / Meeting point in Puerto Iguazu (B) Breakfast and free time to explore around or simply enjoy the Lodge area. We invite our guests to participate in our Orchid Rescue Program.
