★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 180 reviews · 7 hours · from $27

Review of the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls from Puerto Iguazu, with border tips, costs, timing, views, guides, and practical advice.

“I loved tha actual waterfalls - absolutely amazing. We added the bird sanctuary as and afterthought and we're made to pay another 30€ for transportation, as far as we could see, no-one had to put on anything extra, and we had already paid transport back to the hotel with the original tour, so it seemed a bit steep. However, we really enjoyed seeing the birds, toucans, parrots, hummingbirds and much more, so it was worth it. The thing we absolutely hated was the amount of wasted time, especially at the border.

“The tour itself was great - they picked up on time, the bus was comfy. It was a little annoying having to get my own ticket into the park, and we had to wait in line at the park to get our tickets - thank goodness we were one of the first groups because that was not a fast process. The stops were good and of adequate time. I REALLY enjoyed the little special treat our guide did for us at the last lake stop. I didn't realize there was an option to take the train with the half day ticket and again I didn't prepurchase one so I had…”

Clear information would save a lot of worry. The boat trip was ok. Next stop the Market most shops closed on Monday. Then the Museum closed on Monday. Our final destination wine tasting one white and one red and tiny hard cheese that had been out a lot. They were the smallest tastings i have ever had ! In my option this tour should not be run on a Monday !”
