Planning a trip to both sides of Iguazu Falls requires some coordination, especially regarding border crossings and park tickets. Here is what you need to know before booking your tour.
You can choose between budget-friendly group tours and flexible private excursions. Private tours often provide dedicated vehicles to skip bus queues and offer priority border crossing assistance.
Visiting both sides means crossing the Argentina-Brazil border. You must bring a physical passport. Starting April 10, 2025, citizens of Australia, Canada, and the US will need an e-visa to enter the Brazilian side.
Most tours do not include the park entrance fees in the upfront price. Expect to pay around $32 to $44.50 USD for the Argentine side and $22 USD for the Brazilian side. Booking these online in advance is highly recommended.
Seeing both sides can be done in a single 8 to 10-hour full-day tour or split across a 2-day itinerary. A two-day tour allows for a more relaxed pace, dedicating a full day to Argentina and a half-day to Brazil.
The falls are highly accessible for all visitors. The Argentine side is 90% wheelchair friendly with adapted walkways, while the Brazilian side features panoramic buses with ramps and elevators.
Most tour operators offer flexible booking conditions. You can typically cancel up to 24 hours before the scheduled departure time for a full refund, giving you peace of mind if your travel plans change.
