Looking for Iguazu travel tips? Here’s a guide to help you sidestep common pitfalls and make the most of your trip:
– If you’re traveling from the Argentine side to the Brazilian side, don’t underestimate the time it takes. Thirty minutes simply isn’t enough—it’ll likely take closer to an hour! Why?

Drivers often make stops along the way to pick up or drop off goods and passengers.
– When crossing in and out of Argentina by bus, remember that your passport will need to be stamped. However, if you don’t have a Brazilian visa, don’t worry—authorities on the Brazilian side rarely check.
– The boat tours of the waterfalls in Brazil and Argentina showcase the same stunning natural wonders.

– At the breathtaking Devil’s Throat in Brazil, visitors get astonishingly close to the cascading waters. On the Argentine side, there is no equivalent viewpoint, and even if there were, it wouldn’t feel as intimate with the falls as the Brazilian perspective.
– During the festive Christmas season, expect larger crowds on the Brazilian side, with lines stretching up to 40 minutes.

Conversely, the Argentine side tends to be less crowded. Regardless, both sides are incredibly accessible, offering wheelchair-friendly paths that allow for a complete tour.

– The bus station marked on the map is called Terminal De Omnibus. The lively bar street can be found in the circled area at the bottom right, while the unique spot where you can see three countries at once is located in the circled area at the top left. Lastly, the night market is situated in the circled position on the final map.

– For a memorable evening, head to the tri-border area to watch the sunset. Afterward, enjoy dinner and soak in the dazzling city lights from Punto Ar restaurant—a perfect way to end your day.
