Comprising 275 waterfalls along nearly three kilometers, 80% of them are situated on the Argentine side.

Both Iguazu National Park (Argentina) and Iguaçu National Park (Brazil) offer trails and viewpoints to observe the falls from different perspectives. The Argentine side provides a more immersive experience, while the Brazilian side offers panoramic views. Nearby, the Bird Park in Foz do Iguaçu serves as an additional attraction, featuring over 1,500 animals from 140 species.

The region boasts great biodiversity: more than 2,000 plant species and around 400 bird species. Jaguars, monkeys, and coatis also inhabit the area, making it a key spot for ecotourism.

The months from May to October, during the dry season, are ideal for visiting, although during the rainy season, the water flow is greater.

From Argentina, entrance to Iguazu National Park costs approximately $26 for foreigners, while on the Brazilian side, the fee is around $18.

Recommended activities include hiking, boat rides, wildlife watching, and moonlit night visits. Puerto Iguazú and Foz do Iguaçu offer a wide range of accommodations and restaurants, making it an accessible experience for tourists from around the world.
