Puerto Iguazú Travel Forum

i am trying to book my tickets to go to iguazu on sunday, but not sure if i should plan on staying 2 nights (seeing the falls on sunday and monday and coming back to BA on tuesday) or 3 nights (coming back on wednesday)... what would you recommend for seeing the basics?

Does anybody know if there's an overnight bus from Puerto Iguazu to Tucuman, and if so, what times and what is the company?

thanks!

Alguien me podria decir si hay un colectivo desde Puerto Iguazu a Tucuman, y si lo hay, a que hora y con que compania?

gracias!

This maybe a stupid question but a little confused with requirements for entering and leaving countries whilst trevelling.

At the start of 2008 my girlfriend and I are beginning our world trip in Argentina. We are planning to end up at the Iguazu falls for 3-5 days, staying on both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides before flying on to Manaus Brazil.
Will we be able to cross the border after staying in Puerto Igazu for 2 nights and then continue our travels in Brazil, or will we need to have pre booked a flight out of Argentina before entering the country. We are arriving in Argentina on the 2nd of January. Hoping someone can help with our inexperience?
Any recommendations on accommodation both sides of the falls would also be great

I will be leaving for Asuncion in a couple of weeks and would really like to visit Iguazu. However I am on a tight budget and would like to avoid paying the $100 for a Brazilian visa. Is there a way to avoid it? Thanks for your help.

Hi VT´ers

In september I will be visting Puerto Iguazu for one whole day and then crossing over to Brazil for one night in Foz fromwhere I have a scheduled flight to Rio de Janeiro.

Is it better to go from Argentina-side into Paraguay for a short visit or is it better to go from the Brazilian side?

Also can somebody recommend a good hotel which is very close to the town of Puerto Iguazu?

Þakka ykkur kærlega fyrir :)
Bearzy!

Is it necessary to book a tour or guide to see the Falls (Argentinean side and Brazilian side) or do I just take a bus to the park entrance?

Hey all,

Once you've done the Falls is there anything else recommended in Iguazu?
What's the nightlife like?
Has anyone driven from Bs As to Iguazu? Is it a good idea with a rented car?

Cheers,

Pat

Are cabs readily available at Iguazu airport or should I pre-arrange a cab through my hotel?
Anyone know the approximate cost to take a cab from the airport to Puerto Iguazu?

Hello!

A group of us will be traveling to Argentina at the end of the year. We are going to spend a week in buenos aires from christmas to new year's and then take a bus up to iguazu.

couple of questions-

lonely planet listed andesmar and chevallier as the biggest bus companies in argentina, but when we called them up, they said that they did not run the buenos aires - san ignacio - puerto iguazu route. i know there has to be other companies that run that route, does anyone know of these companies? do they have websites? is it necessary to prebook long distance bus tickets? we're going to be travelling right after new year's, or better still on new year's day itself if the buses run then (do they?) and so it'd probably be a busy time. we're looking for a bus that runs from buenos aires to san ignacio or posadas, we'd see the san ignacio mini jesuit ruins there, and then carry on to puerto iguazu for the falls.

we're excited about seeing the argentinean side of the falls. it looks like we're going to be arriving sometime in the afternoon, around 2pm. the park closes at 6.30pm. how long do the tours take? do we have time to see the falls on the day we arrive?

any help would be greatly appreciated. we're kinda stuck now because we have no information about bus companies, and we want to get that down before we book accommodation.

thank you so much.

I'm trying to time my visit to Iguazu (Argentine side) perfectly....

I've heard its better to go during a full moon vs not. Would arriving December 4th and leaving December 6th help me do that?

Also, is it true that the park shuts down on Mondays?

Thanks, Kamal

I'm studying Spanish in Montevideo in December, and would like to find the most scenic route to Puerto Iguazu and back.

I'd also like to avoid going through Buenos Aries twice (on the way there and back). Could anyone suggest some routes? I saw a posting about traveling the last 200 miles via the river, which on the surface sounds exiciting?

I've saved up a lifetime worth of hotel "points" to get Falls View room at the Sheraton for two nights. I'm really looking forward to this!

What are the costs and procedures for visiting Brazil and/or Paraguay from Argentina at Iguazu and returning to Argentina?

Who knows the official website of the Puerto Iguazu Airport ??
Or who has picture(s) of the inside of the departure hall ??

I will be travelling to Las Cataratas next April and I need to know what is the weather like in that time of the year. Is it too rainy? Should I take some winter clothes in case it gets cooler at night? Or is still too hot even at this time of the year? What worries me the most if April is a rainy month like in the rest of Argentina.
Any answer will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I am in Foz Do Iguacu at the moment. I want to visit the Argentine side tomorrow. Do I need to pay anything at the border. I am from the UK and have no dollars or pesos. I am planning to catch the bus from Foz to Puerto and then a bus up to the falls. I am hoping to get some pesos in Puerto bus station for the bus trip up to the falls and back to Foz. Any help on this would be gratefully received. Many thanks, Colin.

Hi I´m spending just under 2 days in the Iguacu area, arriving in the Brazilian side early afternoon on 7th March, leaving Argentinian side early afternoon on 9th March. What is the best way I could plan my trip. I am thinking of spending one night in each side in the cities. Is it possible to see the falls in the afternoon or just the morning. I´m also very interested in doing the speedboat trip under the falls. Do I need to allow time for crossing the border as I´ll be spending 3 months in Argentina after crossing the border?

Can anyone help me plan these 2 days so I can get as much in as possible.

Thanks

Has anyone had any experience visiting Puerto Iguazu by wheelchair? Are the walk-ways on the Argentina side wheelchair-friendly? How difficult would it be for someone unable to walk very far to visit the falls? Thanks for any help with this!

We will arrive by aeroplane and just wondering how to come to the town of Puerto Iguazu (or even better our hotel along Ruta 12). Off course there will be taxis and our hotel offered a pick up service, but they charge 35 pesos and I think this is rather expensive.
My question: are there regular busses running between the airport and town/hotels ?? How much do they charge ??

Thanks a lot
Jaap

Can anyone recommend a clean hostel or a nice hotel in Iguazu for under $70 Ar pesos?

How cold is it in July? Is it possible to see the falls in 1 day or do I have to stay over night? My home base is Buenos Aires. Where should I stay?

Is it possible to fly direct from Chile or do I need to come back to BA?
thanks

Thanks,

How to get to Iguazu from Salta?

Hi everyone,
I'm very excited to find this site!

I will be going to Buenos Aires with 3 friends next week and we'd like to see Iguazu from the Argentina and Brazil sides. From the comments here, we have to see them!

I've looked through a few travel books and done internet searches and have no luck figuring out how to best plan this.

We are from San Francisco and Washington DC.
Is it an outing we should plan once we get to BA?
Can you recommend a travel agency or site to plan this with?
Do you know approximate cost of these type of packages?

Thank you!!
