We are planning to visit Buenos Aires and Bariloche in August 2005 and were wondering if we could also visit the Iguazu Falls?
How far are these from Buenos Aires or Bariloche?
What type of transportation do you recommend?
How many days are required to really enjoy the place?
Where should we stay?
As you see I have a lot of questions
Thanks

Fly, and take 3 days for the journey. I'd stay (and have) in the comfortable, old-fashioned Hotel Cateratas, on the Brazilian side.

Hi,

Most people go for 2 or 3 days. I would reccommend you stay at the Bourbon Caratas, it is a great hotel. The Tropical das cataratas is good too but the only advantage it has over the Bourbon is that is inside the park.

As for things to see I would suggest the falls of course, the park it self is fantastic for walking around. They have a ride there called Macuco Safari, it is unbelivable, the boat goes realy near the falls, sometimes you think is going to turn, there is a lot of adrenaline, they also have rafting there, but is not my thing so i didn't do it. There is also the Itaipu Dam, the world’s largest power station, the Bird Park, and the Jesuits’ ruins on both Brazilian and Argentinean sides of the border.

Why don't you have a look at the Discover brazil site they can give you more information.
