What a magnificent set of views! We spent 6 hours wandering around here - it's pretty much the perfect day trip from Puerto Iguazú. Don't miss it! More

Absolutely breath taking. Words just cannot express enormity and beauty of these falls. Take your time to enjoy the falls and the surroundings. Aside from the falls there is an incredible amount of wildlife to see in the National Park. If possible, time your visit during full moon and take the full moon dinner & night tour Garganta del Diablo... More

I would strongly recommend visiting the falls from BOTH the Argentina and Brazil sides. A day trip to Brazil is easily arranged, but Canadian & American visitors require a Brazilian Visa in advance. Both National Parks are well laid out and beautifully maintained. More

April is a good time to go, not to hot or too crowded, but you still need to get there early, and be prepared to walk. The walkways provide the most amazing views, and the more you do the more you appreciate this natural wonder. The queues for the train were very long, but they do accomodate quite a lot... More

We spent 1 day on a guided tour of the Argentine side of the falls. Just, spectacular, take note you will take 100's of photographs! and sorting through them is a nightmare ! Seriously, we started early morning and took the ecological train to our 1st port of call, "The Devils Throat" . Simply amazing, then the upper falls trail... More

We visited the falls in January 2012. It was very warm, as to be expected, and humid, so don't try and do the park all in one day. The different hikes and viewpoints are spreadout but well worth it. the pictures you see on the internet don't do the waterfalls justice at all. The sheer volume of water and number... More

If you live in South America and haven't been to Iguazu that is a shame. It's as great as the reviews state. Most people say that 2 days is enough but 3 nights would be better. There is much to do on both sides of the falls with or without children. It's a must see. Oh, take the boat ride... More

This is one of those places you should see before you die. The falls are amazing. The setting is breathtaking. Make sure you take the railroad out to the falls walk and see the Devil's Throat. More

We spent one day on the Argentinian side, and half a day on the Brazilian. If you start early and be there by 8am, it should be possible to do both parks in one day. But better take your time, the multiple viewpoints are just stunning! Initially we weren't sure if Iguazu is worth the detour, but we haven't been... More
