Incredible and definitely one of the natural wonders of the world. In the summer it can get hot but it's not too much walking compared to some national parks. The best option if you can afford it is to stay at the Belmond hotel in the park as you get access to the park even when it's closed. We had the sunrise and sunsets all to ourselves - amazing!
Alex Hu — Google review
Absolutely outstanding! Must see! Both the Brazilian and Argentinian side are wonderful. All my wildlife photos are from the Argentinian side though. The Brazilian side offers a beautiful panorama - where the Argentinian offers more walks, views and the feeling of being inside Devil's Throat (incredible!). I would recommend both - but the Argentinian side was my favourite. Glad to have spent two days there 🥳
Mads-Christian Brill Olsen — Google review
World class place. Definitive must see. During our visit it was flooded and looked different than usual, water was high, fast and brown.
Tomek Bogdański — Google review
Spectacular place! Park was well organized, spent the whole day walking around the trails as well as taking the boat ride. It's quite unfortunate that the Devil's Throat was closed temporarily that day, but I will come back definitely!
Zhang Jing Zhi — Google review
Mother nature's beauty at its finest! Just a reminder: bring a raincoat (something similar) or wear something waterproof, light outfits are much better as you'll probably get wet at the main viewpoint. Be sure to have an insect repellent spray. There are several stops before the main viewpoint, there's 3km (with an optional tour), 1.5km (you'll have to walk from here up to the end), and the main stop. As for the tickets, you can buy it at the entrance (100 Brazilian Real) and from there you'll have to take the bus to reach the stops.
Arlene Aguelo — Google review
What an amazing place! You can visit the falls from both the Argentinian side as the Brazilian side. In my opinion the Argentinian side is the best. Taking a stroll through the whole park takes around 2-3 hours. The route is easy and very walkable. You could also take a train if you don’t want to walk. Its quite crowded here, make sure to go early in the morning if you want to avoid queues. The parking is free when I went. Definitely recommend to visit this place!
Michael vd Berg — Google review
A truly beautiful and awe-inspiring part of the world. Take your time to stroll around the park to really take in the sights and admire the flora and fauna. You’ll be absolutely drenched if you do the speedboat ride - wear something that’s easy to dry!
Y Ng — Google review
This has to be one of the most amazing places that God created. What an incredible experience to be here. This is a once in a lifetime experience simply cannot be put into words. The national park is well run, very reasonably priced and family friendly. This is a Must-see location!
Wayne Ralph — Google review
Big & well organized park. Very exciting boat ride. Sat on upper & right side of the boat & got totally wet. Super fun like rafting
Cashflow RE Diana Lovetravel — Google review
Beautiful place to visit. Remember to bring lots of water to drink, especially in the summer. The falls are incredible and the staff was great. Wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk.
Walter Hereth — Google review
訪問時は雨天だったため水量が多くて迫力満点でした。 ボートツアーも、滝の上からの眺めも最高でした。 (Translated by Google) It was raining when we visited, so there was a lot of water and it was very impressive. Both the boat tour and the view from the top of the waterfall were amazing.
あさやん — Google review
The falls are breathtaking and amazing from both sides. If possible, spend a day on each side to fully appreciate the beauty of the place. There is so much to see that it would be difficult to fit everything into one day. The walks on the Argentinian side are better, but the views from the Brazilian side are more impressive.While the boat tour might be expensive its definitely worth it, take the boat tour - it will greatly enhance your experience!
Ahmet Baran Baysal — Google review
By far the best place I visited in Argentina. No need to buy the ticket in advance regardless of the stuff you read online. You can buy on the day without a problem sonic the weather doesn't suit do it another day. Wear sensible footwear because it can be slippery. Devil's Throat closed off December 2023 ongoing but you see that part, just from a different angle, a different place. The little train runs only a short way but is still available and enjoyable.
Lewis Mindy — Google review
We visited after several days of rain. The falls were roaring loudly. The water spray was light at first. The closer we got the wetter we became. We took and used rain ponchos and were still very wet! It was a hot day. It didn't take long to dry off. Although my shoes are still wet the next day. I would recommend wearing sandals. This was a beautiful place to visit. I wish we arrived earlier to see more. I would highly recommend this place.
Linda Sankey — Google review
Amazing experience. It rained all day we were there but what do you expect in a rain forest. The rib boat on the river was something else. If you get the chance it is a once in a lifetime experience, especially when they take the boat right under the waterfall where everybody gets absolutely drenched, but we'll worth it.
Harri Jones — Google review
Amazing Falls and amazing views. One of the best in the world. You need to see it to believe it. The ticket price, including transportation, is around 169 BRR.
Jami Karim — Google review
Easily this is one of the most impressive natural areas I've ever been to! You'll be blown away by the beauty of the falls, but also the wildlife, rainfoe, and rainbows you're sure to see. The Argentina side is better for spending a day. There are tons of trails, restaurants, and amenities. The trails take you into a great view just above the falls and on a lower walkway where you get a great view from the front. A public bus reaches the main entrance but you have to pay cash for the bus. You them walk to the falls, or the park train can take you slightly closer. Plan 4-5 hours there. The Brazilian side has a park hosted shuttle bus that takes you from the entrance to the falls. You'll be put almost directly in the biggest waterfall! Water WILL spray you walking near them. The falls will be so close to you that you'll feel like you can touch them! Plan only 3 hours or so on that side. Both sides offer snacks, souvenirs, and cheap water bottles. Restrooms are also available for free. You can't possibly have a bad time here!

Anita Patel — Google review
(Translated by Google) Very nice, here the water flows quickly and forms a beautiful waterfall. The walkways are safe, you have to follow the signs to locate it, it is one of the falls that has the most beautiful view of the Falls. It is in the Upper Circuit and forms the section where there are many jumps of different intensity. Enjoy! (Original) Muy lindo, acá el agua fluye con rapidez y se forma un salto hermoso. Las pasarelas son seguras, hay que seguir los carteles para localizarlo, es uno de los saltos que tiene la vista más bella de las Cataratas. Esta en el Circuito Superior y forma el tramo en donde se hayan muchos saltos de diferentes intensidad. Disfruten!
Juan Luis — Google review
(Translated by Google) Like the rest of the waterfalls in the park, it is worth walking through everything and taking the time in each place to admire and leave the cell phone aside for a few minutes. (Original) Comme le reste des cascades du parc, il vaut la peine de tout parcourir et de prendre le temps à chaque endroit pour admirer et laisser de côté le téléphone portable pendant quelques minutes.
Fulano Info — Google review
(Translated by Google) This jump is a tribute to park ranger Bernabé Méndez, who was assassinated in the defense of Iguazú, on April 14, 1968, by poachers. (Original) Este salto es un homenaje al guardaparque Bernabé Méndez, que fue asesinado en la defensa del Iguazú, el 14 de abril de 1968, por cazadores furtivos.

matt gifford — Google review
The falls and the national park is very impressive and beautiful. When we went (8.11) parts of the park were closed due to the floods. You can get there by bus from the bus station (the price is 2600 both ways). Easy and comfortable option. In the park itself it's super crowded, you can't really enjoy it due to the amount of people and the narrow pathes. If the lookouts and the pathes were bit bigger it would make a difference. The prices of the food there is outrageous! Better bring your own food. Overall we enjoyed the falls.
Nastia Vais — Google review
(Translated by Google) From the Bernabé Méndez Falls of the upper circuit, there is an amazing panorama of the surrounding jumps such as the spectacular San Martín jump, in addition to the Mbiguá and the Escondido. All this seasoned by fragrant rainbows. (Original) Desde el Salto Bernabé Méndez del circuito superior, se tiene un panorama alucinante de los saltos circundantes como el espectacular salto San Martín, además del Mbiguá y el Escondido. Todo esto sazonado por fragantes arcoíris.

We stayed at a hotel nearby that provided transportation to and from the park for R$10 each way. I would recommend buying in advance if you don't want to sit and wait an hour before your entrance time. We only visited the Brazil side. We did the helicopter ride then visited the waterfall in about 4 hours total. Take walking shoes, while the hike is really just a walk along the side of the waterfall, it gets wet and there are ups and downs. I would also highly recommend a pancho because you will get wet walking along the walk way especially if you venture across the waterfall. We saw many butterflies. It's also fun to watch the black vultures circling the sky waiting to feast on fish. It costs R$86 per adult to enter the park and that includes the bus that drives you to the entrance of the walking trail. There are 2 places to buy drinks along the walking trail. I would recommend the trail to exit instead of the elevator if you don't mind a little extra walking. It's not far and you avoid the line. Enjoy!
Nancy Van Delist — Google review
It looks like chocolate and is 6 times the normal flow but wonderfully impressive to see. The walk is fairly easy, even for seniors, not too slippery, and one great view after another. It was fun watching people deciding to get drenched at the end as well as have opportunities to shop for souvenirs and food. The elevator at the end was nice too.
David Bohanon — Google review
The Iguazu Falls trip was truly amazing and fascinating. Words can hardly describe its magnificence; it’s a site that transcends human ratings. A must-see in a lifetime.
Chris Lee — Google review
It’s very amazing, I was there in march, it was very hot, you need water. The lines to get the bus is super long. Visiting Iguaçu falls needs half a day or more. I was there in Friday but it was toooo much crowded.
