The Argentine side lies in Iguazú National Park, in the province of Misiones, near Puerto Iguazú. From Foz, you need to cross the Tancredo Neves Bridge and go through immigration in both countries.

What the visit is like

The Falls area has several walkway circuits — Paseo Superior, Paseo Inferior and Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat) — and an internal train that connects the park’s stations. The walkways pass close to and over the falls, and the total walking distance is greater than on the Brazilian side. Opening hours, trail lengths and open sections should be checked on the official website, as they can change with the river’s flow.

Getting there from Foz

  • By car: requires Carta Verde insurance and the vehicle documents. See crossing the border by car.
  • Without a car: international bus to Puerto Iguazú and from there to the park, taxi, a ride-hailing app that makes the crossing, or a transfer. See how to cross into Argentina.

Money

The currency is the Argentine peso. Confirm on the official website which payment methods are accepted for tickets and services inside the park.

Quick checklist

  • A valid document for every person in the group, including children.
  • Travel authorization for minors, when applicable.
  • Water, snacks, a rain poncho and sunscreen.
  • Some slack in your schedule for the return across the bridge.
