Itinerary description
Walking - Iguaçu (Iguazu) Falls. A slight spelling difference reveals that this wonder of nature is shared by Brazil and Argentina as it lies on the border between the two countries.
For the impressive beauty, the falls definitely deserve to be visited from both sides. Consider about 7 Km on foot in Brazil plus 15 Km on foot in Argentina.
Tips:
This track starts from the Harbor Hotel Colonial located in Brazil and proves very convenient for the complete visit. A short safe walk along the main road leads to the park entrance where a bus ride takes to the trail starting point.
The Argentinian side requires a bit more of an effort, but can't be missed. The most convenient option is to buy a van tour at a travel agency located in the lobby of the aforesaid hotel. Not only fairly priced, but a hassle-free solution. Contrary to the Brazilian park, where the admission fee can be paid with credit card and local or major currencies, the Argentinian only take Pesos in cash. August 2010 admission was 85 Pesos per person. The van leaving the hotel stops by a nearby shopping store that has an official change facility. Another advantage of the van tour is that it takes the fast tourist lane at the border where the visa procedure is rather quick.
