Audio Guide of Iguazú National Park

Iguazú National Park is open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., although access to the last permitted trail is at 4:30 p.m. To visit, you can go on your own or join an organized tour from Puerto Iguazú. We always recommend checking the latest hours on the official website before your visit: Iguazú Tourism - Hours and Prices.

The ticket price varies depending on nationality and whether you are a Mercosur resident. Argentine adults pay $12,000 (February 2024 price), while foreign visitors pay $40,000. You can buy your tickets at the park ticket office or online in advance through the official portal, which is highly recommended to avoid lines: Iguazú National Park - Tickets.

To enjoy the main circuits (Upper, Lower, and Devil's Throat) without rushing, it is recommended to set aside a full day, around 6 to 8 hours. If you want to explore additional trails or do special activities such as the Great Adventure, you may need a second full day. Taking your time will help you make the most of your visit.

Iguazú Falls are not only a natural wonder, but also a site of great historical and cultural importance. They were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 and have been considered one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature since 2011. Their beauty has inspired various Indigenous cultures of the region over the centuries, with legends explaining their origin, such as the story of Naipí and Tarobá.

The best time to visit is during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May), as the weather is milder and there is less humidity. As for the time of day, I suggest arriving early, right when the park opens, to avoid crowds and enjoy a quieter experience on the trails, especially at Devil's Throat. Avoid the summer months (December to February) if you do not tolerate heat and high humidity well.

Yes, Iguazú National Park is one of the most accessible parks in Argentina. It has adapted walkways on most circuits, especially the Upper and Lower circuits and at Devil's Throat. Wheelchairs are also available to borrow at the park entrance, and there are accessible restrooms. For more details about accessibility, see here: Argentina Travel - Iguazú Accessibility.

Besides the majestic waterfalls, in Puerto Iguazú you can visit the Three Borders Landmark, where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet. You can also explore the Hummingbird Garden, Aripuca, a nature interpretation center, or Güirá Oga, a wildlife rehabilitation center. If you have time, consider crossing to Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil to see the falls from the Brazilian side, which offers different panoramic views.

Of course. For the best experience, bring comfortable clothing and suitable footwear, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a refillable water bottle. A rain jacket or poncho is essential if you want to get closer without getting too wet in some areas. Consider hiring a certified guide to learn more about the local flora and fauna. And most importantly, make sure your phone or camera is fully charged, because the views are stunning!
