Iguazu Falls from Buenos Aires: how to get there and how many days

Iguazu Falls, on the border between Argentina and Brazil, is one of the natural wonders of the world and the trip most visitors add to Buenos Aires.

How to get there

The easiest way is to fly from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazú (IGR). The flight takes about 1 hour 50 minutes and there are several flights a day, mostly from Aeroparque. By bus it is a long overnight trip of around 18 hours.

How many days?

We recommend two full days (three nights is even better): one day for the Argentine side and one for the Brazilian side or for the boat ride.

The Argentine side

This is where you walk among the falls. The park has an upper and a lower trail and a small train that takes you to the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo), the most impressive point, where you stand above the water. Plan a whole day and arrive early.

The Brazilian side

Shorter, with the best panoramic views of the whole falls. It is visited in half a day. To cross the border you need your passport, and depending on your nationality you may need a visa for Brazil: check before you travel.

The boat ride

The boat that goes up the river and right under the falls is an unforgettable (and very wet) experience. It is worth booking in advance in high season.
