Experience Iguazu Falls after dark during one of the most unique activities offered inside Iguazu National Park: the Full Moon Walk.

Available only on selected nights around the full moon, this special experience allows visitors to enter the Argentine National Park after regular operating hours and travel toward the Devil’s Throat area under the night sky.

The experience normally includes transportation within the park followed by a walk toward the observation platforms. On clear nights, moonlight can illuminate the mist above the waterfalls and occasionally create the rare phenomenon known as a lunar rainbow.

Because this is a special National Park operation, departures are limited and availability can sell out well in advance.

Several departure times may operate during each eligible night. Exact schedules, park access and operating dates depend on the official Full Moon calendar and National Park authorization.

Weather conditions are especially important. Cloud cover, heavy rain, high river levels or other safety considerations may affect visibility or cause changes and cancellations.

The Full Moon Walk should be considered a completely different experience from a daytime visit. It does not replace seeing Iguazu Falls during normal park hours, but it can be a memorable addition for travelers staying several nights in Puerto Iguazu.

When are the Iguazu Falls full moon tours available?

They operate only around the full-moon period on selected nights each month, according to the National Park schedule. Availability is limited, so travelers should check specific dates before arranging flights or hotels around the experience.

How many nights per month does the Full Moon Tour operate?

The exact number is set by the park and may vary. Use a live calendar rather than hard-coding a permanent number.

What is it like to see Devil's Throat at night?

It is a completely different sensory experience: fewer daytime visual cues, the roar of the water, moonlight and rainforest atmosphere create a dramatic setting. Visibility depends on clouds and moon conditions.

Is the Full Moon Tour worth it if I already visited during the day?

Yes for travelers who enjoy unusual nature experiences. It should be considered an additional experience, not a substitute for the daytime tour, because the park and Falls look very different at night.

How dark is the trail?

The experience is intentionally nocturnal, and lighting is controlled to preserve the atmosphere and safety. Visitors should follow guide instructions carefully and avoid relying on phone flashlights unless allowed.

Is the Full Moon Tour suitable for children?

Many families can enjoy it, but late hours, darkness and walking should be considered. Check current minimum-age or park policies before booking.

Does it operate if it rains or is cloudy?

Cloud cover can reduce moon visibility, and severe weather may affect operations. A cloudy night does not necessarily mean the tour is canceled, so the operator’s current policy is the final reference.

Can I see the moon from the waterfalls every night of the tour?

Not necessarily. Weather and cloud cover are natural variables. The experience should be sold as a full-moon night tour, not as a guaranteed unobstructed moon view.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as possible when your dates coincide with the full moon, especially during holidays and peak travel periods.

Can I have dinner in the park with the Full Moon Tour?

Some full-moon programs may offer dinner options or combinations depending on the schedule. Confirm the current package before publishing a permanent inclusion.

Full Moon tour of Iguazu Falls

"We booked the Full moon tour of Iguazu Falls. We were promptly picked up at our hotel and returned to our hotel at the end of the night. Seeing the falls at night was an awesome experience.

We were rained out for the full moon…

"We were rained out for the full moon tour and Carlos went above and beyond to make sure we had a great Iguazú Falls experience and scheduled us for the boat tour the following day instead of just refunding the fee for the cancelled tour. His communication and follow up was stellar.

Great service and a fantastic experience!

"We contacted IguazuFalls.com whilst researching our trip to Iguazu. Our query was handled by Magui who was very helpful. We were visiting the Argentinian side from Brazil, and wanted to visit both in the daytime and also later in the evening as we were there at the time of the full moon and thus the moonlight tour. Magui arranged for us to be picked up at our hotel on the Brazilian side in Iguazu Falls. We were then transported over to the Argentinian side to visit the falls during the daytime where we did the 'big adventure'. At the end transport was arranged for us to go to the town of Puerto Iguazú on the Argentinian side, where we stayed a few hours for food/drink. Transport then picked us up and took us back for the moonlight tour, and afterwards then back to our hotel in Brazil. A fantastic experience! Service from Magui was excellent, both by email and WhatsApp!

Incredible experience, great service

"The full moon walk was a great experience for the entire family. It was awesome to see the devil's throat at night and without as large of a crowd (although still a fairly large group in our visit). The team was very helpful when we planned the trip, and even arranged a pickup from the airport to ensure we wouldn't miss the event (thank you Carlos!). Overall would totally recommend to anyone who happens to be in town during a full moon.
