Do I need any vaccinations to visit Iguazú Falls?

Generally, there are no specific vaccination requirements for visiting Iguazú Falls itself. However, it is always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before traveling to ensure you are up to date on routine vaccinations.

For those traveling to Brazil, the yellow fever vaccine is recommended, especially if you plan to visit more rural or jungle areas. While Iguazú Falls is a popular tourist destination and is not considered a high-risk area for yellow fever, some health authorities suggest the vaccine if you’re visiting multiple destinations within Brazil. Additionally, some travelers may choose to get the vaccine as a precautionary measure.

If you are traveling from a country where yellow fever is endemic, you may need to show proof of vaccination when entering Brazil. For Argentina, the yellow fever vaccine is not generally required for Iguazú Falls unless traveling to more remote regions. It’s important to also take preventive measures against mosquito-borne diseases, such as using insect repellent to protect against diseases like dengue and Zika.

Be sure to consult a travel health specialist at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to ensure you have the right vaccinations and advice for your specific itinerary.
