Argentine side of Iguassu Falls

The most close contact to Iguassu Falls is from Argentina!

 
 

 
 

Train of the Jungle - The transportation inside of the Argentine National Park is done by the famous Train of the Jungle. It runs every half an hour regularly but during the picks of high season every 15 minutes back 'n' forth from the Devil's Throat to Cataratas stations. No need to pay extra for this service it's included on the entrance fee of the National Park. 

The Train of the Jungle

Upper Path - At the Upper Path You can see all the falls You could not from the Devil's Throat. The Catwalk stands right on the egde of the falls giving and outstanding view and feeling from Iguassu. Capuchin Monkeys can be seen around very often. The length is 1.6 miles and no steps whatsoever. There is only one way so do not come back from the same way You came. 

Upper Path

Devil's Throat - The Devil's Throat really impresses all eyes. the walk from the train station is 2 miles back 'n' forth, facilities and snack bar around the station as well. The walk is totally flat no ups or downs at all. wheel chair avalible for those who need it. It's impossible to predict how wet one is going to get but in sunny hot days You dry off fast! 

The Devil's Throat

Lower Path - From the Lower Path You see the same set of falls as from the Upper one, the difference is that You have a more panoramic perspective. Also it's one of the largest walks, around 2 miles with steps, about 100. At the end of it one can get pretty wet around the Bosseti Fall. The Lower Path is not for everyone, seniors and people with knee problems should not even try it.

Wild Life

Unfortunately even asking kindly some people yet feed the wildlife, hence our tour guides make sure to explain it in details, how to procedure in their presence, if They are edgy or easy going. It all depends on the presence of our food around them, besides not feeding them, try not to eat anything in front of them, it triggers on them their most wild instincts and they can start fighting among themselves over our food. 

 
 

Besides the quatis, deers, monkeys and toucans may be spotted as well, it's a matter o luck, black vultures are always flying in circles around the falls. A lot of fish goes over the falls and drop dead so a real buffet displays at their feet.

We do not advice to wear flip flops at the falls at all, neither from Brazil or Argentina once they could be very slippery over the spray from the falls. As far as out fits, the most comfortable as you can feel and always remember to bring a cap or hat and sun block.
