Iguaçu Falls (Argentinian Side) Guide

Up Close and Personal: Explore the Argentinian Side of Iguaçu! Guide

Get ready for an adventure! The Argentinian side of Iguaçu Falls offers a completely different, and equally captivating, experience compared to its Brazilian counterpart. Here, you'll be immersed in the heart of the action, walking along trails that lead you directly over and around the cascading water. Prepare to feel the spray on your skin and witness the raw power of nature up close. This side is all about getting personal with the falls. Like the Brazilian side, the Argentinian side has a rich history. Indigenous communities have long revered the falls, and their stories and traditions are woven into the fabric of the region. The park was established to protect this natural wonder and provide access for visitors to appreciate its beauty. The Argentinian side focuses on a network of trails and walkways that bring you closer to the individual falls and the surrounding rainforest. The Argentinian side offers a variety of activities to suit every adventurer. Take the Tren Ecológico de la Selva (Ecological Train of the Jungle) to access the upper circuit trails, which offer stunning views from above. Walk the lower circuit trails for a closer look at the falls and the surrounding flora and fauna. Don't miss the Devil's Throat, accessible via a long walkway over the river, where you'll witness the most powerful cascade of water. The Argentinian side also offers opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife spotting. While not directly related to the falls, the town of Puerto Iguazú offers a variety of Argentinian cuisine, including empanadas, grilled meats, and local wines.
