Audio Guide of Monday Falls

Monday Falls is usually open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including public holidays. We recommend checking the hours on its official website before your visit, as they may vary. Access to the park is open during the established hours, and the route is clearly signposted.

General admission to Monday Falls costs approximately PYG 30,000 for foreigners and PYG 15,000 for Paraguayan residents. Children aged 5 to 12 and older adults usually receive discounts. It is important to confirm updated prices at the ticket office or on the official website Monday Falls, as they may change.

To fully enjoy Monday Falls and explore its trails, viewpoints, and perhaps climb to the panoramic lookout, we recommend allowing at least 2 to 3 hours. If you plan to do adventure activities such as zip-lining or rappelling, your visit will take longer.

Yes, Monday Falls is a testament to Paraguay’s natural wealth, formed by the Monday River as it flows into the Paraná River. Its name comes from the Guaraní word 'monda’y,' which is said to mean 'river that steals water.' It is a place of great ecological and scenic value, often compared to a 'little brother' of Iguazu Falls.

The best time of year to visit is between April and September, when temperatures are more pleasant and there is less rain. As for the best time of day, I suggest going early in the morning (8:00–9:00 AM) to avoid crowds and enjoy the peace, or later in the afternoon to appreciate the sunset light. Avoid the middle of the day in summer because of the heat.

The park has made significant accessibility improvements. It has paved trails and ramps in certain areas, including some main viewpoints to facilitate wheelchair access. However, we suggest contacting the visitor center directly at +595 61 570 000 for more detailed information about specifically accessible sections and available services.

Ciudad del Este has a lot to offer after your visit to the waterfalls. You can explore the Friendship Bridge connecting Paraguay and Brazil, go shopping in its famous markets, visit the Itaipu Tourist Complex to learn about the hydroelectric plant, or even cross over to Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil to see Iguazu Falls from another angle.

Of course. Here are a few: bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and a hat, especially in summer. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the trails. If you are interested in adventure, ask about zip-line or rappelling options in advance. Do not forget your camera to capture the stunning views, and consider hiring a local guide to enrich your experience. And of course, support local businesses by buying handicrafts or enjoying the regional cuisine.
