What travellers say about Iguazu and about us
From people who visited the falls with Iguazu Falls Travel.
- ★★★★★Tripadvisor
“I drove with Daniel, Clovis and Nestor on my visit and every single one of them was incredibly nice to chat to, super friendly and reliable, and went out of their way and above and beyond to make this day an absolutely highlight in my trip. The falls are breathtaking and particularly right now carry so much water it is an experience absolutely out-of-this-world to visit.”

“Amazing experience at the falls. did both sides of falls, Argentina side was better ( in our opinion). The power of the falls is overwhelming and the beauty of the nature surrounding the falls is amazing, the butterflies on the Argentina side are beautiful.”

“We enjoyed the falls with zero stress! And our driver in Brazil (Clovis, I think was his name) was the nicest, most personable guy! Their service saved us so much time that we used to explore the beauty of the falls! I 100% recommend this”

Smooth transfer between Falls visits
“With just a day on each side of the Falls, we used Iguazu Falls Travel for the transport and help with the border crossing procedure. Everything went very smoothly and Iguazu Falls Travel enabled us to reduce the risks of anything going wrong and hence maximise our time at the Falls.”

Iguazu travel: quick questions
What is the best way to visit Iguazu Falls?
See both sides if you can: the Brazil side for the panorama (2.5–3 hours) and the Argentine side for the close-up walkways (most of a day). Compare the two sides.
How many days do you need at Iguazu Falls?
Two days lets you see each side at a relaxed pace. One day is enough for both sides if you start early and have a driver to handle the border.
Where should I stay, Foz do Iguaçu or Puerto Iguazú?
Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) is a bigger city with more hotels and flights. Puerto Iguazú (Argentina) is a small, walkable town close to the Argentine park. Both work, because you'll cross the border either way to see the other side.
Who writes these guides?
The Iguazu Falls Travel team, a private transfer company based in Foz do Iguaçu since 2014. We cross the border and visit both parks every day, and we update these guides regularly.
