All Iguazu Falls: A Comprehensive Guide to the National Park in Argentina.

The Iguazu National Park (Parque Nacional Iguazú) on the Argentine side is a vast expanse of jungle, where you can admire the famous waterfalls up close. Unlike the panoramic Brazilian side, there's a network of eco-friendly walkways here, allowing you to literally walk above and below the cascades. 📸 Routes and things to see: ▪️Upper Route (Paseo Superior): Passes directly above the tops of the cascades. You walk along metal walkways and watch as tons of water rush down from beneath your feet. ⏱️ Completion time: approximately 120 minutes. ▪️Lower Route (Paseo Inferior): Descends to the base of the falls. From here, stunning views open up, and millions of refreshing sprays rise into the air. ⏱️ Travel time: approximately 90 minutes. ▪️Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo): The park's most powerful and impressive waterfall. You can reach it on the Tren Ecológico de la Selva eco-train or by walking along the track. ⏱️ Travel time: approximately 120 minutes (including travel time and time at the observation deck). Unfortunately, when we visited the park in September, the access to the Devil's Throat was closed due to water levels. But we saw it a year ago in August, and I still remember the sensation of the powerful water and the noise. The white foam created by the thick water made it difficult to see the waterfall itself. It was unforgettable! 🦝 Wildlife encounters: Wild animals are constantly seen along the trails. The most frequent visitors are the adorable and very long-nosed coatis, while monkeys, vibrant toucans, and butterflies of every color of the rainbow can be spotted in the tree branches. The park's scale and the power of the water are simply astounding! Standing on the bridge, surrounded by the roaring and roaring of a powerful waterfall hidden in the jungle, takes your breath away. It's a complete oneness with wildlife, where you feel like a small part of something grand. ℹ️ Useful information and recommendations: 🎟️ Entrance fee: 60,000 Argentine pesos (~$40–$45 USD) per person for international tourists. ⚠️ Important note: The trail to the Devil's Throat is periodically closed due to heavy rains and dangerously high river levels (for example, this trail was inaccessible in early September). Be sure to check the park's official website for up-to-date information before your visit! 🎒 What to bring: A raincoat or a change of clothes, comfortable, non-slip shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent. ⚠️ Be careful with coatis: Don't feed the coatis and keep your bags closed—they are very cunning, nimble, and can easily snatch food right out of your hands! #IguazuFalls #ParqueNacionalIguazu #ArgentinaTravel
