Iguazu Falls, both sides. Is it worth visiting both?

Iguazu Falls Sunset

Yes, it is definitely worth visiting both sides of Iguazu Falls! Each side offers a unique perspective and experience:

While, the Argentinian side is more immersive, with extensive walking trails and close-up views, including the famous Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat). You’ll feel the power of the falls from above and below; the Brazilian Side offers a panoramic view of the falls, giving you a breathtaking full perspective. The trails are shorter, but the scenery is spectacular.

What to see on the argentinian side?

More immersive experience – You’ll walk on extensive trails that bring you up close to the falls.
Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat) – The most powerful and breathtaking waterfall, seen from an upper walkway.
Multiple viewpoints – The Upper and Lower Circuits provide different angles and up-close encounters with the falls.
Boat rides available – The Gran Aventura boat tour takes you right under the falls.
Wildlife encounters – More chances to see coatis, butterflies, birds, and even toucans.
Recommended time: At least 1 full day to explore properly.
