About Iguazu Falls
Straddling the border of Argentina and Brazil, Iguazu Falls is a collection of 275 individual waterfalls stretching nearly 3 kilometres across the Iguazu River. The thunderous roar and perpetual rainbow mist of the falls — particularly the awe-inspiring Devil's Throat — make this a truly humbling natural spectacle. Eleanor Roosevelt famously exclaimed "Poor Niagara!" upon first seeing them, and most visitors agree.

Best Neighbourhoods in Iguazu Falls
The main town on the Argentine side — closest to the national park entrance, with the best selection of restaurants, bars, and hotels. The clear first choice for most visitors.
Just 14 private villas in a nature reserve bordering the national park. Each villa has its own pool, personal guide, and 4x4 vehicle. The most exclusive experience at the falls.
The larger Brazilian city across the border offers lower prices but requires crossing into Brazil for the Argentine park. A reasonable base if your flights are through Brazil.
The only hotel inside the Argentine national park gives privileged early morning access before day visitors arrive — extraordinarily atmospheric but very expensive.
