Iguazu Falls
Probably the world’s most impressive waterfall, Iguazú Falls consists of a mind-boggling 275 separate cataracts, tumbling over the jungle-clad cliffs of the riverbank where Argentina and Brazil meet. Both countries offer scenic walkways with breathtaking scenery around every corner, not to mention easily observed wildlife and surprisingly few tourists with whom to share the remarkable views.
Where: On the border between
Argentina and
Brazil.
When to go: Iguazú Falls is a year-round destination, but water levels and weather conditions vary with the rainy (December-February) and dry (June/July) seasons.
How to get there: There are direct flights connecting Iguazú Falls to Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Lima, São Paulo and Salta in northern Argentina.
Combines well with: Buenos Aires and the north of Argentina, and/or Rio de Janeiro and the beaches of southern Brazil. A direct flight to Peru also makes adding
Machu Picchu to Iguazú Falls holidays an attractive option.
Where to stay: If you can, stay within the national park itself for exclusive access before and after the public are admitted. Browse our
Iguazú Falls hotels.
Length of stay: At least 2 days at Iguazú Falls will ensure that you have time to see both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides, each of which has unique advantages. For a trip combining Iguazú Falls with the main attractions of the surrounding area, you’ll want 2 weeks or more.
