Tips for visiting Iguazu falls from my recent trip

[awardticket]

I am getting to Iguazu area on the bus from Asuncion at around 1pm on Tuesday and leaving Wednesday night at 7pm from IGR on Argentina side. I am staying in the Sheraton.

Question was if is worth going from the Brazilian side when I arrive by bus straight to hotel to drop off luggage and then spend Tues afternoon on the Argentina side, and the go Wed to see the Brazil side and bird park at leisure on Wed and then return for my flight?

Also I want to see the dam if possible and was wondering if it made sense to see it on Wednesday of I should do that when coming in from Asuncion since I will already be in Paraguay? I do wish to have time on Tues to see the Arg side if possible though.

And yes, I see no reason why you couldn't go into the park for a few hours on day 1. There are a number of distinct trails on the Argentinian side so it is easy to just see a piece of the park.

Actually that's a pretty good idea, thanks. I ended up booking a flight that gets into IGR at 2pm on day 1 but I should still be able to get some time in on Argentinian side on day one and day 3 and dedicate all of day 2 for Brazil.

I finished booking all my flights and hotels a couple of weeks ago and now that I am leaving for my trip in a couple of days I'm finally getting around to planning the rest of the details.

Is there a difference between afternoon and morning in terms of the views from the Brazilian side of the falls?
