The nature and the views are magnificent. But be sure to do the Argentinian side, it is by far better Whatever boat trips you are offered, take them it is worth. It is cheaper on the Argentinian side More

This was on my Bucket List for years. no one managed to explain that the Area had been in Drought... a mere 400,00 cubic feet per sec. of water coming over the Falls...as opposed to 4,000,000. Still spectacular !. Visit whenever you can. If you like Rainbows, this is your place! Visited both sides of the Falls (i.e. Brazil &... More

recently went on holiday with friends to Buenos Aires, iguazu falls and Rio. the trip was booked through 'imagine Latin America'. right from the planning till we left rio everything was perfect. the iguacu falls from the Brazilian side is something everyone should experience. More

The panoramic views of the falls from the Brazilian side are truely remarkable. The view and sounds of the huge amounts of falling water are a one in a lifetime experience. It's unreal. Starting from the panorama view you embark on a walk (up high) besides Iguazu river with every few metres a new view. We shot loads of pictures... More

I have been there over 10 times, and will go back whenever I can. One must visit the Argentinaian side as well, totally different views. Early morning is best on the brasilian side, as the sun gives superb light for your photos. Not cheap though !! More

Iguacu Falls are the most spectacular thing I have ever seen in my life and my friend and I both agree that they have been the highlight of our round the world trip. We took a 24 hour bus ride to get to them and were worried it would be a waste of time, but it was so worth it.... More

A visit to Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side is brilliant. They have panoramic views of the falls, the transport around the national park is well organised easy to navigate with regular shuttle buses to take visitors to the viewpoints. This is also the site from which you can do the flight over the falls by helicopter. It is only... More

I don't think I need to add much more to what everyone's been saying - the falls are just magnificent - quite some natural wonders. It was one of the highlights of our trip. A tip though: if you want to get a bit wet and go under the falls, do this on the Argentina side (you'll find the ticket... More

We added a 2 day, 1 night trip to Iguazu Falls before boarding a cruise in Buenos Aires. While we saw many spectacular sights during our month in Argentina and Chile, Iguazu was by far the most spectacular. In fact, our son stayed for an extra 2 months of backpacking all over South America and had many wonderful adventures, and... More

With over 2.7Km of falls in an area of natural beauty, what isn't to like? The falls cover both Brazil and Argentina and you need to see the falls from both sides to really experience them fully. Wonderful national parks, great friendly staff, very safe and secure. Great for trekking / rafting / boating / climbing / just sight seeing. More
