travelling guideline:

Travel: The waterfalls viewed in Argentina and Brazil are quite different: the Argentine side is divided into two tour routes, the lower route winds through the dense forest, from which you can appreciate the grandeur or charm of each waterfall from bottom to top, with a scene every 10 steps; on the Brazilian side, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the main waterfalls on the Argentine side. Looking from the bottom up, the water curtain falling from the sky is a different feeling.

In the Argentine National Park, you can also take a rubber boat to challenge the waterfall - "rushing the waterfall". You can ride the boat and rush towards the waterfall like holding a sword, and experience real thrills without any danger.

Best time to visit:

Iguazu Falls is located in the subtropics, and the water volume does not change much throughout the year. The best time to visit is from January to March.
