Iguazú Argentine Side in Depth

Stay in Puerto Iguazú and spend two days exploring the Argentine side's trails, speedboat ride and Macuco jungle path, with no border crossing needed.

Based in the Argentine town of Puerto Iguazú, so no Brazilian visa is needed. Day one covers the Triple Frontier, a wildlife rescue center and a small market. Day two walks the Devil's Throat and the Upper and Lower Circuits. Day three returns to the park on the second-day discount ticket, takes the Macuco Trail to Arrechea Falls, then rides the Gran Aventura speedboat right up to the foot of the falls. Relaxed pace, suited to families and people who want to take their time on the Argentine side.

The speedboat and the Devil's Throat trail are affected by water levels and may close when the water is too high.

Day 1 · Arrival and the Triple Frontier

Iguazu Falls（Güirá Oga Wildlife Refuge、La Aripuca、Triple Frontier Landmark (Marco das Três Fronteiras)、La Feirinha (Puerto Iguazú)）

A taxi from the airport to Puerto Iguazú takes about 20 minutes. The wildlife rescue center and Aripuca are along Route 12 leading to the park, so take a taxi there and back. Walk to the Triple Frontier at sunset.

The rescue center is a guided visit with fewer afternoon sessions, so confirm times in advance.
