We were received by a very nice man who explained what we could do inside, the history of the building, We ended eating at the restaurant and had a great surprise!. The souvenir shop is big and worth a look.
A beautiful place were you can adopt a tree and buy very good wooden souvenirs very cheap (for example a Brazilian Rosewood table and chairs for 8 people will cost € 100,00).
The tour offers a look at the traditional culture of the indigenous people of Iguazu, but their contemporary culture is also very much on display.
La Aripuca is the front for a Guerini community that lives on the land where the tourist attraction is located. They sell souvenirs from a small table at the rear of the large attraction. Your fee is supporting them. It's a nice spot with interesting things that will keep you busy for all of 30 min or so. Still, it's interesting and worth a stop. It's next to the EXE Cataractas Hotel.
Nice place to visit even though it doesn't take you long to see everything. We had planned to eat there but restaurant was only for functions. Very nice gift shops with good quality souvenirs
The pride of the Argentine people in their culture and their hopes for a sustainable future are apparent in this exquisite site. we were so lucky to have had the recommendation and the time to visit
While the idea or even ´mission´ behind La Aripuca is a good one, and I must express at this point that I respect this family´s attempt at making a difference in the wasteful use of wood, and deforestation of misiones; I couldn´t help but feel that the park was lacking a little something to make it special. The giant animal trap structure they made is quite impressive, but only for a few minutes... after that there´s not much to do but browse the local made crafts shop. Not really what I was expecting, the place needed a bit more culture to liven it up (food? music?)
Interesting spot. It shows how much the rsidents of Puerto Iguazu care for the ecology. It is a place to learn what the "Selva Misionera" would look like if it had been protected. Nice gift shop. Unfortunately I missed the guarani choir singing.
We visited this place on our last day at Iguacu, and pleased we did. A really nice setting with heaps of local craft work to browse through and purchase.
At the very beginning I thought this was a different kind of attraction but after my visit I was totally impressed by the simple way they explain everything about the environment, the ecology, the complete story of the place and more important the trees from the area and the awareness of how to take care of them.Beautiful place and well organized.They have restaurant, cafeteria, ice cream parlor and souvenir store.
