A Paraguayan Gem

Mar 2022

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!

Delightful Falls

Jan 2020 • Solo

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.

small falls but worth the trip!

Mar 2014 • Couples

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!

In Paraguay ! Not enough famous cataract because of Iguaçu but it’s worth it !!!

Apr 2013 • Friends

If you are nearby Ciudad del Este, the Paraguayan three borders’ city, don’t miss it !
Very easy to reach, it’s at 5 min of Presidente Franco center.
This wonderful natural attraction is hidden at the end of a peaceful park.

Well worth the visit.

Aug 2018 • Family

We went to these falls during a day trip to Paraguay whilst staying in Foz Iguacu to see the Falls there. Though not as big and awesome, these Falls were still impressive and well worth the visit especially given that there was virtually no one else there when we visited.

Wow!!! (PRICES INCLUDED)

Apr 2017 • Couples

Saltos del Monday is one of the most impressive waterfalls you'll come across in South America!

We took a bus from town centre which dropped us about 5 blocks away (10 minutes walk to the entrance).

The entrance costs $6.00 or 35,000 Gs per person (foreigners). You then pay an extra 20,000 Gs for the lift to go down to the bottom platform if you want to.

The waterfall is so powerful you can find yourself watching it with awe for half an hour or so.

Highly recommended

Very nice Waterfall

Oct 2016 • Friends

If you are visiting Foz Do Iguacu, it is very worth it to make a daytrip to Pararguay,
cross the border from Foz to Ciudad del Este, and from there, you can take a taxi or bus to Saltos del Monday. We have walked over the bridge to Paraguay, but you can easaly take a bus that leaves from the busstation in Foz.
The waterfall is of course not as spectacular as the Foz Iguacu falls, but sure worth an visit. Best to do this one first, before you visit the big Iguacu falls.
When we were there, we were all by ourself in the park, Its quite amazing

If it weren't for Igauzu...

Apr 2016 • Family

These falls are amazing. My father in law owns a house about a thousand feet from here. You can sit on his front porch and see the mist rise from the forest and hear the rush of the water. It is a beautiful place to spend a few hours. If it were not for Igauzu falls on the other side of the Brazilian boarder, these would be world renown.

nice waterfall - well worth the visit

Jul 2014 • Friends

This is a spectacular waterfall in its own right, and well worth the visit (particularily if you want to bypass the crowds at Iguaçu, which are around 25 km away) . It is set in a small park with walking paths, toilets + cafe/kiosk (which accepts both Brazilian + Argentinean currency). They appear to be constructing an elevator to the bottom of the falls when I was there, the top deck of which provided an additional platform to view the falls

Well worth seeing these falls and has a nice small cafe.

May 2014 • Friends

These falls are lovely and during the rainy season in Paraguay were spectacular to see.
I know that a lot of Paraguay tour books or guides compare these falls to Iguazu, the Brazilian / Argentinian fall, BUT these are not in Brazil nor Argentina. And to compare them seems a bit snide to what are very nice falls in their own rights.

Entry was $5 for foreigners I think. Which is ok as you can see the improvements they are making with the entry fee.

Nice hour seeing a lovely fall.

Qual o valor a ser pago para ingresso ao parque? O mesmo poderá ser pago na moeda REAL ou somente em GUARANI?

Ana Silvia (Base)

22 contributions

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. Aline

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.
