From the Lower Circuit, take a boat ride out to San Martin Island, where there is a white sand beach and the falls can be enjoyed from their very core.

Bring your camera on a Photo Safari, a two hour trek through 30 km of rainforest where you can observe animal tracks, hear the songs of hidden birds, and with some luck view some of the area’s fauna.

Travel the 3 Frontiers Circuit, where the Tancedo Neves International Bridge joins Puerto Iguazu with Foz de Iguacu in Brazil, then connects with Ciudad del Esta through the Friendship Bridge in Paraguay. The entire trip is 30 km and visitors can enjoy panoramic views from the bridges.

When to go:

The climate in Iguazu is humid subtropical, and the summers (Dec-Feb) can get extremely hot, making them not an ideal time to go. Humidity is high year-round and rainfall does not vary much from season to season. Your best bet for nice, mild temperatures suitable for hiking the falls is to go in the winter (June-August).

How to get there:

Most people heading to Iguazu are coming from Buenos Aires or other major cities in Argentina. Buenos Aires to Iguazu is a 1600 km trip, and Cordoba to Iguazu is 1500. You can travel by bus or plane to Iguazu from most major cities in Argentina. Buses are far cheaper and also far longer, about 18 hours from Buenos Aires. The trip usually goes overnight and the major carriers are Expreso Tigre Iguazu, Via Bariloche, and Crucero del Norte. Lan Argentina and Aerolineas Argentinas both run regular planes the 1.5 hours between Buenos Aires and Iguazu.
