Discover more about Iguazú National Park

Iguazú National Park, established in 1934, protects the Argentinian side of the Iguazú Falls, one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders. Sharing the falls with Brazil's Iguaçu National Park, it encompasses 67,720 hectares of the richly biodiverse Interior Atlantic Forest. The park offers a variety of experiences, from leisurely strolls along well-maintained circuits to adventurous boat trips that take you close to the cascading waters. The Upper Circuit provides panoramic views of the falls, while the Lower Circuit allows you to feel the immense power of nature as you stand at the base of the cascades. Don't miss the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo), the largest of the falls, accessible by the Ecological Rainforest Train and a network of walkways. Beyond the falls, the park is a haven for wildlife. Keep an eye out for monkeys, toucans, coatis, and a variety of bird species. The Macuco Trail offers a chance to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in the jungle, leading to the secluded Arrechea Falls. For a unique experience, consider the Full Moon Walk, a nighttime excursion that showcases the falls under the silvery moonlight. The park's history is intertwined with conservation efforts dating back to the early 20th century. Today, it stands as a testament to the importance of preserving this unique ecosystem for future generations. The park also contributes to the local economy, supporting the growth of nearby towns like Puerto Iguazú.
