7 Extreme Sports and Activities To Do In Brazil

One of the best ways to view the spectacular Iguassu Falls is to rappel (abseil) down the vertical basalt cliffs that frame the stunning waterfalls. Don a helmet and harness and gracefully descend 180 foot by rope from an iron platform to terra firma on the river-bank below. As you hang in mid-air, you will enjoy eagles eye views of the emerald green jungles, the sheer rock walls, and the foaming cascades. This is a real adventure and a thrilling experience to describe to your friends back home!

For sheer adrenalin filled-fun take this thrilling rafting tour on the foaming cataracts of the great Iguassu Falls. Guided by professional instructors you will whizz down dizzying white-water rapids on inflatable boats propelled by oars. No previous rafting experience is required and this trip is sure to be the highlight of your Foz do Iguassu holiday! Just a word of warning do be prepared to get wet!
