We saw both Argentine and Brazilian side - both were amazing and I can't pick a favourite. In Argentina you can get closer to the falls (even get a boat under them) where as Brazil you get more of a view from a far but it shows you all of Iguasu in its glory. If you are here for a few days I would go in the arvo - as a lot of people get there when the park opens at 9am.

The place is fantastic, it's a must see.Take the boat ride that will bring you just under the falls, it's an unique experience.

Puerto Iguazu seems kind of run down. Had a few streets with enough restaurants and souvenir shops though seemed more under-developed than expected for an area next to a major world attraction.Surprising that there didn't seem to be many other attractions or activities advertised to do except for the Falls. Lots of potential…. Can take taxi to hotels and Falls for about 200 - 250 pesos or bus collectives for about 60 pesos. Restaurants open usually 10 - 3pm for lunch and after 7 pm for dinner. Taxis about 35 pesos within town. If there for more than a day to see the falls or 2 days if also going to Brazil side, then suggest you get a hotel with a pool and cable TV/internet to pass the time. Unless you like to party at cafes, have a good book or seriously need solitude. Bring an umbrella in case rains. People are nice. Falls are great to see.

This is a small, down at heel, low-rise redbrick town on the edge of Brazil and Paraguay. The pavements and roads are rough, many of the properties are half-completed and it appears to be sited on the edge of forest or jungle. If you’re familiar with Thailand or it’s islands like Koh Samui it is very similar. Hot, humid, dusty and full of vegetation – a mosquito paradise in other words.We would recommend using taxis to get to both sides of the waterfalls. Remis taxis were good and our driver, Marcello, not only engineered the crossing of the border (four times) he bought our tickets using the Tour Guide option and managed to get us to the front of all the queues. Taxis weren’t cheap, but it was a very convenient experience and we didn’t have to endure the issues of getting a bus full of people through the very slow border crossing. Marcello, as a taxi driver, just drove to the front of every queue. The bonus of having a car waiting for you at the exit / pick-up point was worth having. Don’t forget that there is a time difference between Puerto Iguassu and the Brazilian side.

The town exists only to put tourists in proximity of the Iguazu Falls and to provide some amenities to the locals who work in and around the Igauzu Falls National Park. It does have a few other very interesting attractions however. You can arrange a tour of a village of the local native people, which is very informative. The people are shy, but friendly and appreciate the tourist dollars that come their way. There is also a good bio-park that features both flora and fauna and includes a charming butterfly tent.

We spent 2 days taking different trails & boat rides. Each time we thought it couldn't get more fantastic we we surprised. You will get wet and there are hundreds of stairs to climb, but it's more than worth it.

Easy to navigate, safe and reasonably clean. There is plenty of options for dining and accommodation. However this is a place you visit to go to the Falls, a long way from everything else, once you have seen the Falls, maybe have a day around the town and some time to relax, however this isn't much to see here.

There is nothing special about the place other than the fact that it´s close to the falls. However; one can find everything they need during the touristic stay such as banks, atms, restaurants, supermarkets and souvenir shops.

Lots to see - bring your wallet - you will end up buying things. We walked around without feeling in danger - day or not. Lots of restaurants and shops. Enjoy the day and or night there.

The waterfalls are amazing - if you have the chance, go and see them. We visited both the Argentinian and the Brazilian sides. Both are great, but if you only have one day, choose to see the falls from Argentina. You can see a lot more and get closer to the falls. The area has a bit of a run down feeling, but the amazing sight of the falls completely overshadows that.From the Argentinian side we tried the speedboat which goes under one of the falls - not the devil's throat, though. It's really fun - but prepare to get soaked to the bone!From the Brazilian side we tried the river rafting. Also great fun, but the boat keeled over, so we all got very wet. It seemed to chok the guides a bit, but no one got hurt. There's a speed boat following the raft, and they were very quick to fish people out of the water again.All in all we had two great days, so go go go.

A lot of good restaurants, heladerias, hostels etc. A very nice spot if you want to see Iguazu. Buses to everywhere, the Brazilian side (Foz), Paraguay etc.

Not really much going on here except a convenient location to the falls. Find a good hostel, I stayed at Bambu and loved it, and have fun there.

About a 20 min ride from the airport, Puerto Iguazu has mostly hotels to host the tourists that come to see the falls. It is also situated where the Rio Iguacu and Rio Parana "meet", which separates Argentina from Paraguay and Brazil. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops, but most people will spend their time at the falls anyways. Loved the time we spent there.

This is a town which is being slowly modernised with very basic buildings for the most part being gradually replaced or remodelled to fit the largely tourist clientele. However, very basic areas are adjacent to some quite modern ones.
