Iguazu: need 2 visas?

Hi. Canadian. Landing IGU, see Brazil side of Iguacu Falls then over to Argentinian side for a day or so. Assume there is no option but to get the Brazil visa. At the Falls are they insistent on having a AR visa to go to that side? TIA

Yes, you need a Brazilian visa.
Yes, you need to pay the Argentine reciprocity fee online beforehand and carry the printed receipt to show at the border crossing.

I found Iguazu to be a pricey, but worthy, proposition.

I landed in Brazil (better flight options) and hopped into a taxi that took me to the Argentina side. That visa sure got a workout for the 30 minutes I was in Brazil!

Thankfully I had previously paid the Argentina reciprocity fee on a prior visit.

Consider having it as an open invitation to return and really see the country!
