Read what travelers share about their experience visiting Iguazu Falls — from practical tips to personal highlights.
A 2-day tour of Iguazu Falls is the perfect way to fully experience the world's largest waterfall system without rushing. Over 48 hours, you'll cross international borders to witness the raw, thundering power of the Argentine side and take in the sweeping, panoramic beauty of the Brazilian side.
Stand just 50 meters from the edge of Garganta del Diablo, an 82-meter-high horseshoe canyon. The deafening roar and intense spray here are absolutely unforgettable.
Walk the 1.4-kilometer paved trail on the Brazilian side for jaw-dropping wide-angle views. This path gives you the best perspective of the 275 individual cascades.
Ride the open-air, narrow-gauge Ecological Train through 7 kilometers of dense subtropical jungle on the Argentine side to reach the main trailheads.
Hike the elevated steel footbridges of the Upper and Lower Circuits. You will get incredibly close to the rushing waters of Salto Bosetti and Dos Hermanas.
Board a twin-engine speedboat that races up the rapids and drives directly into the roaring spray of the falls. Expect to get completely soaked!
Spot colorful toucans, monkeys, and the famous raccoon-like coatis roaming the trails. Just remember to keep your food hidden and never touch them.
Booking a 2-day tour to Iguazu Falls requires a bit of logistical planning since you are visiting two different countries. Here is what you need to know before securing your spot.
You can choose between private guided tours that just cover your ground transport and expert guide, or comprehensive packages. Some packages even include round-trip flights from Buenos Aires, airport transfers, and a night in a 4-star hotel.
Pay close attention to inclusions. Private tours often exclude national park fees, meaning you'll need to pay roughly $32-$44.50 USD (35,000 ARS) for Argentina and $22 USD for Brazil at the gates. All-inclusive flight packages usually cover these fees.
Because the falls straddle the border, you must bring your physical passport to clear immigration. Note that starting April 10, 2025, citizens of the US, Canada, and Australia will need an e-visa to enter the Brazilian side.
Policies vary significantly by tour type. Standard private tours often offer a full refund if canceled 24 hours in advance. However, multi-day packages that include airfare and hotels are typically strictly non-refundable once booked.
The parks are highly accessible. The Argentine side is 90% wheelchair friendly with adapted steel walkways, while the Brazilian side features step-free panoramic buses and an elevator at Porto Canoas.
You will get wet from the mist, so quick-dry clothing and a waterproof poncho are essential. Avoid wearing white sneakers, as the iron-rich red soil of the Misiones province will permanently stain them.

Pro Tip: Arrive right at opening time to beat the massive tour groups to the most popular viewpoints.
If your tour doesn't include hotel pickups, getting to the parks is straightforward:
The ideal time to visit Iguazu Falls is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (April to May) and spring (September to October). During these months, the weather is warm but comfortable, water levels are impressive, and the crowds are manageable.
Months to Avoid: January and late July are the absolute busiest times due to Argentine and Brazilian school holidays. January and February also bring extreme heat, high humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms that can temporarily close the trails.
Iguazu Falls is remarkably well-equipped for visitors with mobility challenges.
Note: The Lower Circuit on the Argentine side has some steep, slippery sections that elderly visitors or those with mobility issues may want to avoid.
Both parks offer excellent infrastructure for full-day visits:

The soil in this region is rich in iron, giving it a vibrant red color. This red dirt turns to mud with the constant waterfall mist and will permanently stain white sneakers, so dark, sturdy hiking shoes are recommended.
