“The experience at the border was so easy and the drivers explained everything. They took care of logistics I didn’t expect like getting a driver from the Argentina side and the Brazil side. Told me the timeframe I had based on what I wanted to do/see.”

Perfect Service
“We used Iguazu Falls Travel to provide a pick up from IGR airport and visit the falls on the Argentina side then a transfer to visit the falls on the Brazil side and afterwards the 3 borders and back to IGR airport for our flights back to Buenos Aires. As we only had one day the timings were critical to us and Iguazu Falls Travel provided the perfect service.”

Great Transfer by an Organized and Efficient Company
“Using Iguazu Falls Travel was a very wise decision as I was arriving by plane in Foz de Iguaçu, meaning the Brazil side, but was immediately going to Puerto de Iguazu, i.e. the Argentina side, and returning to the Brazil side the same evening.”

Easiest way to see the Argentinian side of the falls
“The transfer to the Argentinian side of the falls was perfectly organised. We were picked up on time and the process of going through the border was very quick. Our driver on the other side agreed a pick up time but also gave us his WhatsApp number (there is WiFi) so we were able to move our departure time back.”

“Thanks to them, I was able to visit both the Brazilian and Argentine sides of Iguazu Falls, which are absolutely stunning regardless of the weather. Clovis went above and beyond by helping me rebook my waterfall entry time and suggesting that I visit the Bird Park first – excellent advice, as it turned out to be well worth seeing.”

“We flew down early afternoon from São Paulo and wanted to visit the Brazilian side of the falls before moving over to the Argentinian side and staying in Puerto Iguaza for 2 nights. Rather than mess around with buses and taxis this was the perfect solution. We got picked up and dropped off then just messaged our driver to pick us up.”

“I highly recommend this transfer company! I organized transfer from the entrance of the Brazil side of Foz do Iguaçu National park to the Argentinian side. They confirmed by WhatsApp the day before and the morning of. The driver was a cautious driver and drove very well especially considering there was so much rain. It was so easy.”

“Transfer from IGR to resort and then from the resort to Brazilian side of Iguazu and transfer to IGU was really seemless and hasslefree. Both Daniel on Argentinian side and Nestor on Brazilian side were terrific. I was worried about luggage transfer etc. and Iguazu Falls Travel made it so seamless. Great team”

Excellent service with a professional team.
“Excellent and very professional, we travelled from our hotel on the Argentine side to the airport on the Brazil side via the Brazilian park. Drivers were very kind and helpful, our journey was very smooth thanks to them. We wish we had used them earlier for the Argentinian side . Would definitely recommend them.”

“This transfer service was amazing! Their website was incredibly clear with instructions for exactly how I could go to the Argentina side of the falls just for the day, despite all the confusing regulations and rules due to the pandemic. They picked me up at my hotel on the Brazilian side, got me across to the Argentina side, and then brought me back to the airport.”
