More than gifts, couples are seeking to create meaningful memories: romantic destinations gain momentum around Valentine’s Day.
Commonly known for its majestic waterfalls, Iguassu Falls has been establishing itself as a versatile destination, offering itineraries that combine cultural and natural attractions with entertainment options for couples looking to break away from routine and trade traditional presents for unforgettable experiences that prioritize well-being.
So-called “experiential tourism” has been gaining popularity by transforming this date into an opportunity to slow down and truly enjoy time together. According to tourism and hospitality trends, weekend getaways, destinations close to major capitals, and outdoor activities are among the most sought-after options for couples. The idea is simple: less consumption, more emotional memories.
Nature and tranquility
For couples who want to slow down and appreciate nature, Iguassu offers a wide range of attractions that provide close contact with the environment.
Iguassu Secret Falls: For adventurous couples, Iguassu Secret Falls features trails and lesser-known waterfalls in the region, with different tour options that include waterfall swims and direct contact with nature, always accompanied by specialized guides.
Bird Park: For those seeking a more intimate experience and a deeper connection with the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest, the Pumuckl Guided Tour is the perfect choice. Recently launched by the Bird Park, this unique experience combines special moments alongside the birds with a surprising gastronomic experience, all within an exclusive, guided tour full of meaning.
Weekend getaway
