Iguazu Falls Argentina and Brazil: Which side is better?

Iguazu Falls Argentina and Brazil: Which side is better? In this video we bring you along as we visit BOTH the Argentina and Brazil side of Iguazu Falls. In Argentina, we visit Parque Nacional Las Cataratas del Iguazú, and in Brazil we visit Parque Nacional do Iguaçu. We LOVED getting to experience 1 of New 7 Wonders of Nature: Iguazu Falls! Both sides were AMAZING but in this video, we share which is BEST: Argentina vs Brazil. Let us know your thoughts down below on which side is better?!

You need to see both sides. Argentina has more on offer but Brazil side has some great views

[@deblevine4580]

Brilliant! Thank you for such a complete review. I'm just getting ready to book our visit to the Argentina side. Great work and much appreciated.

[@simasebtini]

Oh wow! That’s a great video for both sides thanks for sharing! I will try both side like you guys did!

[@MahnaGhafori]

Thank you so much!! I’m so happy to hear that 🥰♥️

[@marianelazamora3216]

I agree! Both spots are beautiful, but Argentina is better! It feels as if you are inside the falls, it’s such amazing!!

[@MahnaGhafori]

Yes!

[@MadDogAdventures]

I didn't do the Brazil side but Argentina was so laid back, the town of Iguazu and the falls. Just amazing

[@MahnaGhafori]

Truly so amazing! Loved Iguazú ♥️

[@user-rw7mf4oo1h]

One more reason to go again and visit Brazilian side. Not only the park, but the Itaipu binacional, and other spots amazing in Brazil such as the park full of Unique species of birds

[@ericm4891]

It's cool that you got to go see both sides of the falls! I feel that for me it would be hard to choose which side is better. One of my friends went just to the Argentina side, and she thought it was incredible. I may have to check out both sides one day. Awesome video!

[@lukassouza904]

Guys! I’m SO bummed for you. On the Brasil side, you should have gotten off at the first bus stop and walked the trail along the falls. It’s a long walk, but you would see the river and the falls, all the way until the area where the overlook is. You missed a lot

[@MahnaGhafori]

We actually did! That’s also where we did our boat tour, so we saw all that from in the water AND on land! And actually later on our flight out too haha, we flew right over Iguazú!

[@lukassouza904]

@@MahnaGhafori not the trail that the train takes you on, the walking trail. You guys went on it? I assumed you didn’t cause you said the bust dropped you right off at the restaurant

[@solangesouza6277]

There is a BIRD PARK inside the Iguazu Falls Park, full of beautiful tropical birds as TUCANS, PARROTS, etc ... that you can experience up close.

I am flying to Puerto Iguazu in Argentina (IGR) , any idea how much a private taxi is from the airport to the Brazilian side falls?

[@bobn5939]

Great video, thanks for sharing. We are deciding between spending 2 or 4 days maybe staying in both towns, is there enough to do for 4 days or is 2 days enough? We like to hike and enjoy nature. Thanks.

[@MahnaGhafori]

Thanks so much for watching! I'd say 2 is enough as the towns are small, but there are lots of hikes and other cute towns nearby you could go explore! Happy to help!

[@user-rw7mf4oo1h]

In Brazil you can visit a special park with some species of bird, Some Muslim town, you can also extend and have a look at Paraguayan city called Cidade del este

[@MSUGoGreen09]

Great video, we are going in a week and it is super helpful! One quick question about buying tickets, we are looking at doing it beforehand online and it has you select an entry time. Are they super strict about being there for the time on your ticket? (in case our flight is delayed and we cant get there early enough). Did you have any experience with this? Thanks so much we appreciate the videos.

Where you able to figure out the entry time? Are they strict about it? Thanks 🙏

One of the wonders in the world - e somente um dos muitos parques naturais que o país tupiniquim tem pra oferecer 🤙

Question about Uber from Puerto Iguazú to Foz do Iguaçu. How much was your ride? Will you be drop off at the Brazil border control building? Can you bring your full luggage across the border? How long slow or fast is the border control. In April 2024, I have to get Visa for US Citizen.

So kool 😎 Beautiful couple 😘

[@NLMusique]

Great video of the falls. I am a photographer. Which side do you think will fit me more?

[@nickybutt9733]

Lot of love for homeboy and homegirl. Positive energy. Does your filming ever annoy people who are trying to enjoy nature in quietness?

[@MahnaGhafori]

Appreciate your kindness! I am very aware of that because I'm one of those people. It was so loud at this park though we could barely even find a place to film in silence haha.

[@davidb19414]

When you didn’t have cash on the Argentina side, were there ATMs nearby to get cash? Or do you suggest getting local currency prior to flying to Iguazú

I was able to extract with ATMs!

Hello, Awesome video. Quick question. We are heading there in a month. I have reservations at Hotels on Brazil side(Sanma and Belmond not able to decide which one). My question is how hard it is to crossover to Arg. side and see and come back. We are there for 3 nights. Based on the advice I can change the reservations. Any recommendations for hotels on Argentina side I will appreciate (Not the melia one).

[@MahnaGhafori]

Hey there! My advice would be from covid travel times so it is different, I'd search blogs and the tourism board website for the current border regulations! I found it quite easy via bus or Uber during the pandemic. Happy travels!

[@jaelgarcia]

Hi There :) Which side is better to stay at in terms of the actual city, Puerto Iguazu or Foz do Iguaçu?

[@MahnaGhafori]

Hello there! The Argentina side is a very small town with a few airbnbs etc, the Brail side is a huge city! just depends which works best for your schedule :) We did 1 day on the Argentina side then a few days on the Brazil side

[@andrecinelli]

Some say that the Brazilian side is the trailer and the Argentinian side is the movie. In my opinion they complete each other with different experiences. Argentinian side you walk a LOT.

[@MahnaGhafori]

Oooh wow interesting! Yes, both are amazing. True! Brazil side felt more accessible and thus more crowded

The Iguazú falla are argentinians almost 80%. Brazil has a Gret View. ANd Foz Iguazú city has more infrastucture Than puerto iguazu in Argentina, it is more Natural place, is not a city

[@xanapoli]

Best attractions of Iguaçu/Iguazu falls 1) Walk to center 360 of the falls (Brazil) 2) Walk to top of devil throat when it is not closed (Argentina) 3) Boat ride into falls on better small boats (Brazil) or on bigger crowded boats (Argentina) 4) Panoramic view of the falls (Brazil) 5) Elevator/stairs/tower in front of water fall (Brazil) 6) Walk park to smaller falls (Argentina) 7) Five star hotel inside park with exclusive Monday and first morning view (Brazil) 8) Trip to second largest dam in the world (Brazil) 9) Immersive walk among birds park (Brazil) Conclusion: Brazil is the better side, specially if Devil's throat walk in Argentina is closed (1/2 of the time when there is high volume of water).

[@hemilserodriguez4387]

El 80% de las cataratas son argentinas y el 20% Brasil. El más impresionante es el lado argentino.

[@leandropro77]

80% of the Iguazú falls are on the Argentine side and 20% on the Brazilian side. So from the Argentine side you look at Argentina and from the Brazilian side you look at Argentina. And looking at Argentina is always more beautiful, end of debate. Greetings, very good video. hits

[@MahnaGhafori]

thank you!

[@estelaspinelli6845]

El 80% de las cataratas son de Argentina el 20% de Brasil.

[@alexson008]

Yes, and that actualy is the reason to go on Brasil side, because there is a walk route along the river with several view points, from where you can clearly see all (or the most of) argentinian side water falls... From Argentina side you will see only that 20% of water falls of Brasil side ...and Devil's throat of course. But the Devil's throat looks to be quite epic, so the best solution is definitely to visit both and not miss anything :) I dont understand why these guys did not take the walk route along the river on the Brasil side and just took the bus on the main road to the final view point... seems to me like missing everything And finally what you should definitely visit on Brasil side is the bird sanctuary named "Parque Das Aves", which is just next to the falls. It is like a big bird zoo, where you can feed the birds, walk around them through their aviary and see many tropical species like toucans, hyacinth macaws, flamingos etc. (half of the birds in the sancturay were rescued from smugglers) Great expirience.
