About this experience
Day Trip to the Iguazu Falls – Argentine side
Join me on an unforgettable day trip to the impressive Iguazu Falls on the Argentine side – one of South America’s most spectacular natural wonders.
Both sides – Brazilian and Argentine – are breathtakingly beautiful, but the best view of the famous Garganta del Diablo waterfall awaits you on the Argentine side. Here you stand right on the edge of the massive waterfall, which plunges from about 90 meters into the depths.
On about 8.7 kilometers of well-developed hiking trails you will discover the diverse beauty of the national park : tropical rainforest, imposing views and the pure power of water.
Experience nature at its most spectacular – up close, intense and unforgettable.

Important information
Wheelchair accessible
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
Public transportation options are available nearby
Specialized infant seats are available
Transportation options are wheelchair accessible
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
So my tip: try to be there a few minutes before the park opens.
The morning temperatures are more pleasant for customers who are not used to the subtropical climate.
The park opens at 08:00 local time and closes at 16:00.
I therefore always recommend leaving early to avoid traffic jams.
Please note that no animals may be fed or touched!!!
After redeeming the tickets, after a few hundred meters you will arrive at the central train station, from where a train, natural gas-powered locomotive with open passenger cars, leaves the station every 15 minutes for the various hiking trails, three in total. Since the maximum speed is 7km/h, it is great for taking photos. and make films while driving, or just enjoy the breathtaking nature with its unique flora and fauna.
Trails such as Devil's Throat and Upper Trail are suitable even for those with walking aids or wheelchairs as the walkways are built flat across the upper course of the Iguacu River.
The lower trail includes around 180 steps and therefore requires a little more physical strength.
Light shoes with non-slip soles are recommended for the hikes.
Please note that my tours are not marathons, but serve to give the customer enough time to take in the whole thing so that they can also enjoy it.
If you are not planning a longer trip to Argentina, I advise you not to exchange a lot of money, since the Argentine peso has lost much of its value and is not accepted everywhere in Brazil.
Washrooms, toilets, bars, bistros and restaurants can be found at almost all stations.
