The 4-day plan, rearranged for 2 days: the best-ranked places stay, and each day keeps to one part of town.
From average weather, 2021 to 2025: days that are warm but not hot, with few rainy days, score highest. Crowds and prices change through the year, so check them before you book.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
The walking trail along the river with a series of lookouts. It builds up to the wide panoramic view where you can see the falls spread out across the river.
Go when Morning, when the air is cooler and the light is soft.
Local tip The walk is easy and mostly flat, but it is hot and busy by midday. Do not feed the coatis. They are bold and they bite, so keep your food in your bag.
A walkway that reaches out over the water at the end of the trail, to a lookout above the Devil's Throat, where the river drops into a deep gorge. You will be misted, and the view is the reason you came.
Go when Late morning, once you have walked the trail.
Local tip You will be misted, so bring a poncho and wrap your phone. Check ahead for whether the walkway is open, because the river level can close it.
A prato feito is the everyday Brazilian lunch plate: rice, beans, a piece of meat or fish, salad and fried potatoes. Simple, filling and easy to share.
Local tip Eat in the shade and drink plenty of water.

A bird park in the forest beside the falls, with large walk-through aviaries where toucans, macaws and many other birds fly around you. Walk slowly and look up.
Go when Morning, when the birds are most active and the forest is cool.
Local tip Walk slowly through each aviary and let the birds come to you. Check ahead for the park rules, and put a hat and repellent on before you go in.
A boat ride on the river below the falls, where the boat goes close to the spray. You will be soaked. Whether it runs, and how close it goes, depends on the river level, so check ahead.
Go when Afternoon, when a soaking is welcome.
Local tip You will be wet through, so wear a swimsuit or quick-dry clothes and bring a dry set. It depends on the river level, so check ahead.
Pintado is a large catfish from the rivers of this region, grilled or served in a stew with rice and cassava. A local plate for a family lunch.
Local tip Order it grilled and ask how it is served.
