This could potentially be the most beautiful place in all of Paraguay.
But almost no one visits this place, due to its proximity to the most magnificent waterfalls on earth.
If you have an extra day to spare in Foz (or Puerto Iguazu), do consider to visit Saltos Monday. It is beautiful, and you get to be there almost by yourself.
We took the bus from outside the Central bus station in Foz (On Av. JK, opposite the bus station, there is a bus stop labelled "Internacional"). If you are a foreigner, you have to get off at the Brazilian immigration to get stamped out of Brazil. Tell the bus driver that you want to get off there. Otherwise you get into trouble. Then you can walk across the bridge into Paraguay, where you need to get stamped in. Since the traffic on the bridge is so bad, you might actually get to the other side of the bridge faster than the bus anyway. Then you need to get stamped out of Paraguay on your way back (and subsequently stamped into Brazil).
When we arrived in Ciudad del Este, we booked an Uber to take us to the falls (make sure that your phone has service in Paraguay, e.g. through a regional e-sim).
The entrance to the falls was 12 USD per person plus an extra 2 USD for the elevator down to the base of the falls. We paid cash. I believe that payment in the equivalent in Guaranis would be OK. There is a small snack restaurant in the area and a gift shop at the entrance.
In summary, this is a beautiful place, which is well worth your while if you have an extra day to spare. Besides, you can then tick off Paraguay as a visited country...

We stopped here on our way from Paraguay to Brazil. It is located near Ciudad del Este very close to the border with Brazil via Friendship Bridge. It is a very nice facility with a small cafe, gift shop, and restrooms. The falls are amazing with very few people adding to their charm. The walkways are paved and well maintained. There is a nice viewing platform near the falls and an elevator that you can take to the base of the falls for a small extra fee (worth it). You may get a little wet from the mist- bring a light raincoat or poncho just in case.
We had a private guide, Jose Acosta, who was amazing. He is very knowledgeable on history, nature, birds, and the Jesuit Missions. I highly recommend him and he can customize tours to your interest.

The cost of the park entrance is $12.00 or I'm mistaken.

Small trail and easy access.
Panoramic elevator leads to the foot of the falls.
Super recommend the tour

They do not think about the tourist we arrived and we wanted to pay by card and you can not only with cash in Guaraníes or dollars we had to go to the center of the city looking for a ATM to be able to withdraw because there are also no ATMs nearby
And come back tired
Arrive and pay admission and to go down to see the waterfall I have to pay an extra which is stupidly expensive so you have to pay twice per person there is no Guide to explain something about the place
Also the bottom is very small and not so suitable for many people
This place nooo recommend it
If you want to see something better and even cheaper Iguazu waterfalls are the best option there is more to do and it is quieter and prettier

As I wrote in the review on the nearby Adventure Park (see that review for costs), these waterfalls formed by the Monday river, a right tributary of the Paranà (the Iguassu is a left tributary) are very beautiful, even if not comparable to the others, but being little known they are always almost deserted (we went on a Sunday afternoon and there must have been less than 10 people) and you can take splendid photos without having to push the crowd. In this period they are at the height of their water flow and therefore in their best period. From the ticket office, the base of the waterfalls and the panoramic point can be reached by a path in about 10 minutes (be careful that if it is wet it is very slippery) or by lift: we went down on foot and went up again with the lift. From our hotel in Foz do Iguassu we took a taxi that could cross the border paying 250 dollars for half a day.

Beautiful place, but not very well maintained. Valid to visit on the Paraguayan City Tour. I chose this option to see more than just shopping. Ticket was included at City. Poorly maintained place, restaurant with few options and bad internet, take cash if your internet is bad, they accept reais, dollars and guarani. Location not accessible for the disabled.

I’ll never regret the short trek I made from Foz to visit these gorgeous falls outside Cuidad del Este, Paraguay. I didn’t take my electric wheelchair here that I normally use, but if I had, I was impressed at the range of viewpoints I could’ve accessed without much difficulty. Walking was tiring as someone with a physical disability, but the staff give you a map to really familiarize yourself with the area, and I always knew where I was in relation to the falls and the general park entrance.
Having been in the region to visit Iguazu Falls, these falls in Paraguay certainly don’t compare to the sheer magnitude and splendor of their Argentine/Brazilian neighbor. However, they are still worth the trip. The workers at the little cafeteria and at the ticket booth were friendly, the jungle-shrouded fall vistas are stunning, and the overall hassle to get here is minimal for the return you get. One FYI, though…I made the silly mistake of translating the name of the falls to my taxi driver as the Spanish word for Monday, whereas Monday is actually just its official native name. The driver was very confused by this…just say you want to visit Saltos Monday (pronounced Mon-die) and people will soon understand.
A gem that you must check out when in or near eastern Paraguay! Thanks for a beautiful experience!

Beautiful waterfall. We came from Panama with some friends already with an itinerary of everything we would visit in Paraguay and we go back to our country satisfied. It was impressive to see the majestic work of nature up close. We went in the morning hours. Nice place, with special treatment people. Thank you.

Clearly not in the same league as Iguasu these are delightful falls. You can view them from q distance as well as from a viewing platform close by and at the lowest level via access from a lift or steps. It's good that you can get close up to feel the spray from the thunderous main fall. There's also a nice little cafe that serves excellent empanadas.

Close to the town and cheap by bus or taxi! We got there at 8.30, had the whole place to ourselves. Get there early to watch the swallows darting in and out of the rocks. Nice cafe when your done. Away from mass tourists! Bonus!

Qual o valor a ser pago para ingresso ao parque? O mesmo poderá ser pago na moeda REAL ou somente em GUARANI?
Written August 23, 2019
Tudo pode ser pago em real, aliás, eles até preferem.
Sobre o ingresso ao parque, se fechar algum city tour pela cidade (no caso eu fechei da Loumar), não pagamos nada pelo ingresso. Mas, com certeza, não é nada cara, pois, infelizmente, o parque é muuuuito vazio e pequeno. O que vale, realmente, é a vista que se tem dele.

Hola! Quiero conocer este lugar pero la mayoría de los relatos que leo indican que es complicado llegar, que no hay un omnibus directo desde CdE y la opción mas acertada es un taxi, con espera en el lugar y vuelta. Pero supongo que es costoso y tenés que ver todo apurado, lo cual no me convence. Por eso progunto: No hay un omnibus de línea, que aunque sea te acerque? Por lo que veo en Google Maps, no es un lugar taaaan alejado. Lo que tengo en mente es tomar un omnibus de CdE hasta Av. Monday, por ejemplo, y desde ahí si, tomar un taxi hasta el ingreso del parque y pedirle el teléfono para que al terminar el recorrido nos pase a buscar? Se podrá? Alguien tiene un dato de qué lineas de omnibus van por la supercarretera desde la terminal, o desde Km4 de CdeE hacia el sur? Gracias!

Hola Ivan,
Sí, hay un omnibus directo desde CdE. He utilizado este medio de transporte cuando visité el Salto. Sai de las proximidades de la casa China en CdE. Puede preguntar para personas en las calles en CdE que todos saben.

Olá, em uma rua atrás da Casa China em Ciudad del Este. Fica do lado direito do centro comercial para quem passa a ponte vindo de Foz. Paguei R$2,00 a passagem quando fui em Agosto.

Esqueci de mencionar, mas este valor foi direto com a agência do Paraguai que faz o passeio. Você pode contratar no Brasil, mas é mais caro.
