  • Iguazu Falls Argentina and Brazil: Which side is better? In this video we bring you along as we visit BOTH the Argentina and Brazil side of Iguazu Falls. In Argentina, we visit Parque Nacional Las Cataratas del Iguazú, and in Brazil we visit Parque Nacional do Iguaçu. We LOVED getting to experience 1 of New 7 Wonders of Nature: Iguazu Falls! Both sides were AMAZING but in this video, we share which is BEST: Argentina vs Brazil. Let us know your thoughts down below on which side is better?!

    Guys! I’m SO bummed for you. On the Brasil side, you should have gotten off at the first bus stop and walked the trail along the falls. It’s a long walk, but you would see the river and the falls, all the way until the area where the overlook is.
    You missed a lot

My question is how hard it is to crossover to Arg. side and see and come back. We are there for 3 nights. Based on the advice I can change the reservations. Any recommendations for hotels on Argentina side I will appreciate (Not the melia one).

    Best attractions of Iguaçu/Iguazu falls
    1) Walk to center 360 of the falls (Brazil)
    2) Walk to top of devil throat when it is not closed (Argentina)
    3) Boat ride into falls on better small boats (Brazil) or on bigger crowded boats (Argentina)
    4) Panoramic view of the falls (Brazil)
    5) Elevator/stairs/tower in front of water fall (Brazil)
    6) Walk park to smaller falls (Argentina)
    7) Five star hotel inside park with exclusive Monday and first morning view (Brazil)
    8) Trip to second largest dam in the world (Brazil)
    9) Immersive walk among birds park (Brazil)
    Conclusion: Brazil is the better side, specially if Devil's throat walk in Argentina is closed
    (1/2 of the time when there is high volume of water).

      Yes, and that actualy is the reason to go on Brasil side, because there is a walk route along the river with several view points, from where you can clearly see all (or the most of) argentinian side water falls...
      From Argentina side you will see only that 20% of water falls of Brasil side ...and Devil's throat of course.
      But the Devil's throat looks to be quite epic, so the best solution is definitely to visit both and not miss anything :)
      I dont understand why these guys did not take the walk route along the river on the Brasil side and just took the bus on the main road to the final view point... seems to me like missing everything
      And finally what you should definitely visit on Brasil side is the bird sanctuary named "Parque Das Aves", which is just next to the falls.
      It is like a big bird zoo, where you can feed the birds, walk around them through their aviary and see many tropical species like toucans, hyacinth macaws, flamingos etc. (half of the birds in the sancturay were rescued from smugglers)
      Great expirience.
