The quickest and easiest way to get from Foz do Iguacu to the Iguazu Falls on the Argentine side.  At a time of your choosing, your driver will arrive at your hotel or Airbnb to collect you and take you directly to the border with Argentine.

The first stop will be at the Brazilian immigration where your driver will show you where you must go to temporarily stamp out of Brazil before you are back on the road again and driving over the bridge spanning the Iguazu River to the immigration on the Argentine side.

On the Argentine side, your driver will use a special tourism lane and assist you to get your passport stamped for entry into the country.  After all immigration procedures are complete you will drive for around 25 minutes and arrive at the entrance to the Iguazu Falls.

Your driver will discuss timing your trip inside the National park and show you where to reserve and pay for your boat trip under the falls if you are considering doing it.  You agree on a time to meet your driver again and explore the falls on your own (or add a guide to accompany you).

At the discussed time you meet your driver at the entrance again and make the journey back to Brazil stopping to do the passport processes in reverse before you are returned to your accommodation within Foz do Iguacu city.
