7 hour layover in Iguazu enough time?

Im planning on arriving 11:45 and departing at 7pm at IGU, is that enough time from the airport to the Argentina side for a quick tour?
I will be having 2 and 5 yr old with me, I have been and stayed overnight in Argentina from a bus tour, but my friends dont know anything about iguazu, so I was going to throw in this layover so they can have a quick tour.

I believe all of Argentina's land borders are closed at least until the end of January so one cannot fly into IGU and visit the Argentine side of the falls.

Hrad one to call right now . No one knows how the borders will be at that time.

Right now the Argentine government is being very strict due to high numbers of virus infections in Brazil and in Paraguay.

In normal circumstances, the Brazil land border is very easy to cross. The maximum I have had to do is ten minutes.

The Argentine border is another matter altogether. Could be anything from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on how many people are crossing and the time you are crossing.
