No, you do not need to reserve or buy tickets for the Ecological Train at Iguazú National Park in Argentina. The train ride is included in the park entrance fee, and you can board it at no extra cost. Trains run frequently throughout the day, transporting visitors from the park entrance to different stations, including the one leading to the Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo).
However, during peak tourist seasons (holidays and weekends), the train can get crowded, and you may have to wait for the next available departure. To avoid long waits, it’s recommended to arrive early in the morning or visit later in the afternoon when crowds are smaller.
If the train is full or you prefer a more independent experience, you can also walk along the Sendero Verde (Green Trail) to reach some of the main waterfalls and avoid the train.

Why do I need to take the train at Iguazú Falls?
Taking the Ecological Train at Iguazú Falls is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended for convenience and efficiency. The train offers the most comfortable and time-saving way to reach key points in the park, including the Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo), as it transports visitors directly to the most important viewing areas. Without the train, you would need to walk long distances along the park’s trails, which can take more time, especially in hot weather. The train ride is included in the park entrance fee, making it a hassle-free option. Additionally, it’s an environmentally friendly way to travel through the park, as it helps reduce pedestrian traffic along the trails. For those with limited time or mobility, the train ensures you can explore the falls without missing out on key attractions.
