Park das Aves in Iguassu Falls, Brazil

An ideal combination for a day trip at Iguassu Falls is to combine the helicopter flight over the Falls with a visit to the Bird Park (Park das Aves). They are both on the Brazil side and the bird park is almost across the street from the helicopter pad. The park has over 3oo tropical birds plus assorted reptiles and monkeys. Most of the birds are in large walk-through aviaries and this creates an ideal situation for photographers. You do have to be quick, however, because they all seem to be in constant motion. The one exception is the zen-like macaas who seem unflusterred by anything.

The next stop is the Argentinian side of the falls with the long walkways and boat and train rides
