    The hike is about 1.5 km and super easy with incredible views of the falls. It was really easy to get in, you can buy tickets online. We went at opening at 9am and there were already people there and getting in. The views at devils throat are unbelievable. The professional photos are good but expensive at the end. As the price before taking the photos.

    Both sides of the falls are incredible. If you have enough time to do so, spend a day each side. There's too much to see to cram it all into one. Beautiful place, the walks on the Argentinian side are better but I preferred the views on the Brazilian side. Go on a boat tour if you have the chance - it added so much to my experience!

    The view was spectacular. We did not wait anywhere more than few minutes (even for a place to take the picutre). Beautiful waterfalls and nature, and friendy staff there to help you. A+

    Great experience! We completed both the Argentinean and Brazilian side of the falls on two separate days. A big different between them is that the Brazilian side does staggered entry into the falls. Therefore, it's definitely not as crowded as the popular lookouts on the Argentine side. This was a massive win.

    This was one of the most incredible places I have ever visited in my life! The sheer scale and majesty of the falls cannot be done justice by a simple photo. I visited during the Covid pandemic and the park was really well set up with alcohol gel stationed everywhere along the trail. The infrastructure of this park is world class, and I’ve really never seen anything as amazing as this. I am already planning my return visit to this place, I spent the whole day in awe of nature! Unforgettable!

    During my trip to this area, I saw one of the most beautiful sights of my life and it was really worth all the way I traveled to see this beautiful sight! This waterfall was one of the most beautiful waterfalls that I have seen after Ab Sefid waterfall located in Yasouj, one of the cities of Iran! Of course, the scenery around the waterfall was also very beautiful

    Just wow! The first view of the falls when you get off at the second bus stop (the first is for boat tours) might be a little disappointing. While big, the falls are a little far away. However, as you proceed along the paved walking trail you get closer and see more if the falls and you begin to realize just how big this place is. Once you get to the Devil’s Throat and the track out, you are right up close and immersed in a thundering cacophony of water on rock. You will get wet but I’m sure you will be impressed. Don’t miss the beautiful butterflies along the way and, of course, don’t feed the coatis.

    Truly one of the wonders of the world. The Iguasu Falls are a sight to behold. On the Brazilian side the overall views and perspective are nicer, while on the Argentinian side the views and proximity to the water are awesome and awe inspiring. I highly recommend taking the time to visit both sides and to take your time.

    Terrible venue. The destroyed the selva to build this joke of a ‘national park’ where you get ripped off and carried around on a loud bus with virtually no contact with nature compared to the Argentinian side. The waterfall are obviously amazing, but this park is clearly a tourist trap.

    The Brazilian side is a visual smorgasbord of beauty and sure immense size for a waterfall that has no equal on earth. Awe inspiring and mesmerizing describe this wonder of the world. Put it on your bucket list. The trail is shorter on the Brazilian side too and not excessively difficult for most to handle the walk. As soon as your step off of your coach the falls are visible

    Simply breathtaking! One of the seven natural wonders of the world. What a privilege being able to see this beauty. We could experience nature in almost its native form. A very well kept natural reserve. We went on Spring, so high season is starting, but nevertheless it was a lot of people.

    Absolutely stunning. Not sure the photos can do this place justice. The sheer number of falls over such a large distance is mind blowing. Definitely do the c.1km walk alongside the falls which give plenty of different photo opportunities. The only thing is the lift up to the top was very busy and very slow. You can take the c. 400 steps if you want to instead. There are a few food options near the top as well.

    Breathtaking. When I was lost at the entrance of the park without knowing how to proceed, a fantastic guide, Jonas, kindly helped me out.

    The attraction itself is breathtaking. Very well organized and accessible once inside the park. Be aware that you will get pretty wet toward the end so bring a full rainsuit in the offseason (you will be cold after) or enjoy the refreshing shower in the heat of summer. Getting to the park can be convoluted if you don't speak the language and are not part of a tour etc. Some things to be aware of: 1. Park entrance is 5 minutes from the airport in Brazil. If you plan your trip right you can view the falls as soon as you step off the plane. Just take a taxi or the bus. There are luggage lockers at the visitors center by ticket booth. 2. Uber is hit and miss (mostly miss). Uber drivers have cancelled on us repeatedly due to the prices being too low set by Uber. They wanted additional money on top of Uber fare. 3. Plan your stay to view the Brazilian and Argentine side of the falls. Both offer breathtaking views.

    A truly Amazing Experience! We used a service provider to take us from Puerto de Iguazu town in Argentina to the reserve in Brazil. It made things a lot easier and faster. Doing it on our own in the same time would not have been possible. Even in the park it was easier because the guide showed us what to do and he could drive us around instead of using the park buses. Most of the falls are on the Argentinian side so you can see the falls themselves much better from the Brazil side. To have the full experience you must do both sides though.

    Amazing view.. one of the best in the world l.

  • 5/5 Stew 1 year ago on Google
    Part of The Iguazu Falls complex, 160 steps down to the water and you're surrounded by the Rooaarrr and enormous flow. If you can be there near full moon go at night and take pictures of the rainbow. Use a guide with the flashlight and poncho, unless you're sure of your rain parka.

    Amazing place! Magical, you don't realise how beautiful it is until you are there. Would definitely love to go back

    Beautiful place.

  • 5/5 Sarah R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! This is unbelievable doesn’t even seem real. Get off the bus at the second stop and walk along the path. You will enjoy seeing many smaller waterfalls and then at the end it is the MASSIVE one. This is a 7 wonders of the natural world for a reason. Bucket list ✔️

  • 5/5 Jon B. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been to the Brazilian side more than a dozen times and a few times on the Argentine side. I have seen it with plenty and little water. And still amazes me, all the beauty! Masterpiece of a Creator... Argentina side you experience the falls from above and around... Whilst the Brazil side you get the panoramic view. Each with its plus and minuses.

    Awe-inspiring sight. 🌈❤️ One of natures beauties. I truely loved the Argentina side, but the panoramic view of Devils Throat from the Brazilian side are equally (yet different) beautiful. Standing there and watching all that water amass and pouring down gave me chills all over my body. During our visit we had a clear blue sky and i enjoyed getting wet while standing there, it added a realistic touch to our experience.

    We had a great experience at this magical place today. A tourist office wanted to sell us tickets and tours for the park. I was able to buy admission tickets and a boat trip on line at lower prices. The park seem to be well organized. On the way back we stopped at the hotel of the Cataratas. We had a drink by the pool. It’s worth the stop.
