Local buses run from the town of Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, across the border to the town of Puerto Iguazu, Argentina.
Local buses run from each town, past the airport, out to the park entrance, on either side.
Taxis are also readily available.
On the Brazil side, there is a path to walk and take photos of the falls on the other side mostly, with a walkway into the river at one point.
Near the entrance is an interesting bird park.
On the Argentina side, there is an upper walkway over the tops of the falls, and a lower trail, and some parkland.
No tours really needed, except for boat rides under the falls.
Plenty of hotels in all price ranges in both towns, along the road to the park, and one expensive one inside each side of the park.
Just Google for more info.

For Rio, take a thorough look at www.ipanema.com
Thank you very much.

So I do understand that I should cross to Argentina to see the falls from that side as well, the upper walkway sounds really good!
Do you recommend taking the boat rides? I took one for the Niagara falls, i remember it was just ok..

where do you recommend on staying? any specific side?


For Rio, the favela tour is worth it? is it risky?

thanks again
