Getting there

Taxi/Ride-Share

From Ciudad del Este, taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber are readily available. A taxi ride to Monday Falls typically takes around 15-20 minutes. It's advisable to negotiate the fare beforehand or ensure the meter is running. A one-way trip should cost approximately $5-10 USD. Consider arranging a return trip with the same driver, as finding a taxi at the falls for the return journey can be challenging.

Bus

Local buses run from Ciudad del Este to Presidente Franco. These buses are a budget-friendly option, costing around 5,000 PYG (less than $1 USD). The bus will drop you off approximately 1 km from the falls, requiring a short walk to the entrance. Check local schedules for the most up-to-date information, as bus frequency can vary.

Walking

If you are near the Hito Tres Fronteras in Presidente Franco, you can walk to Monday Falls. However, it is a considerable distance (several kilometers), so this option is only recommended if you are prepared for a longer walk in potentially hot and humid conditions. Ensure you have sun protection and water. Follow Calle Saltos del Monday to reach the falls.

Overview

Saltos del Monday presents a captivating natural experience, less crowded than the famous Iguazu Falls, yet impressive in its own right. The falls cascade down approximately 40 meters (131 feet) into a gorge, surrounded by the verdant remains of the Alto Paraná Atlantic forests. The Municipal Park Monday encompasses this natural reserve, offering walking trails, viewpoints, and adventure activities such as zip-lining and rappelling.Historically, the falls were an important site for the indigenous Guarani people. The name 'Monday' comes from the Guarani word for 'robbed river'. Today, the falls are a major tourist attraction in Paraguay, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural significance. Visitors can descend to the base of the falls via an elevator for a closer view of the cascading water. The surrounding park provides basic amenities, including restrooms, a restaurant, and souvenir shops.While smaller than Iguazu, Monday Falls offers a unique and tranquil experience, with opportunities for photography, hiking, and immersion in nature. For those seeking adventure, Parque Aventura Monday, located nearby, offers additional viewpoints and activities.
