Iguazu Falls is one of the most spectacular natural attractions in South America. Located within protected national parks in Argentina and Brazil, the waterfalls are surrounded by subtropical rainforest, wildlife and powerful rivers. To enjoy the experience safely and responsibly, visitors should avoid a number of common mistakes. Both national parks are protected natural areas recognized for their exceptional environmental value.

Coatis may look friendly, curious and accustomed to visitors, but they are wild animals. Never offer them food, touch them or encourage them to approach for a photograph.
Food can make coatis aggressive, and they may bite, scratch or steal bags while searching for snacks. Keep all food inside a securely closed backpack and observe animals from a safe distance.
Feeding wildlife also changes its natural behavior and can damage the ecosystem.
Never climb over railings, leave the walkways or enter restricted areas, even to recover a phone, hat or camera.
The currents near the waterfalls are extremely strong, and rocks and walkways may be slippery because of the constant spray. Safety barriers are there for a reason. If you drop an object in a restricted area, inform a park employee instead of attempting to retrieve it yourself.
A photograph or personal belonging is never worth risking your life.
One single amazing destination, three different countries!
Swimming in the rivers or near the waterfalls is extremely dangerous and is not permitted in visitor areas. The Iguazu River has powerful currents, sudden changes in water level and turbulent sections that can overwhelm even experienced swimmers.
Visitors looking for a water-based experience should choose an authorized boat excursion operated by approved providers and follow all safety instructions.
Iguazu has a subtropical climate, and conditions can change quickly. Do not assume that a sunny morning guarantees a dry day.
Bring lightweight rain protection, sunscreen, insect repellent and suitable footwear. Avoid wearing delicate shoes or clothing that cannot get wet. Near Devil’s Throat and several other viewpoints, the spray can soak visitors even when it is not raining.
Flip-flops, high heels and shoes with poor grip are not appropriate for a full visit to the national parks.
The Argentine side includes several circuits and extensive walkways, while the Brazilian side also requires walking between viewpoints. Comfortable, closed or secure walking shoes with good traction will make the visit safer and more enjoyable.
Drone use is prohibited at Iguazu Falls on both the Argentine and Brazilian sides unless special official authorization has been obtained.
Drones can disturb wildlife, affect other visitors and create safety risks. Leave the drone at your hotel and use a camera or phone from the designated viewpoints instead.
Coatis and monkeys are fast, intelligent and persistent. Do not leave food on tables, carry open bags of snacks or place a backpack on the ground without supervision.
Avoid eating while walking near groups of animals. Store food in sealed containers and dispose of all waste correctly.

Plastic bottles, food wrappers and other waste can seriously harm wildlife and the rainforest environment.
Use the designated bins, avoid disposable items whenever possible and never throw anything from the walkways. Visitors should leave the park exactly as they found it—or cleaner.
One of the most common mistakes is trying to see everything too quickly.
The Argentine and Brazilian sides offer very different experiences. Argentina provides extensive circuits and close-up views of numerous waterfalls, while Brazil offers broad panoramic views of the entire system. Whenever possible, dedicate one day to each side rather than attempting to visit both parks in only a few hours.

Visiting both sides involves an international border crossing between Argentina and Brazil.
Do not leave your passport at the hotel, and never assume that the same immigration or visa rules apply to every nationality. Check current entry requirements before travelling and allow sufficient time for border formalities.
Entrance procedures, operating hours, train services, circuits and access conditions may change because of weather, river levels or maintenance.
Do not rely exclusively on an old travel guide or social media post. Check the latest information before your visit and purchase tickets through authorized channels whenever advance reservations are available.

Avoid blocking viewpoints for long photo sessions, playing loud music or shouting near wildlife.
Iguazu Falls can be busy, particularly during weekends, holidays and peak travel periods. Be patient, allow others to enjoy the viewpoints and follow the instructions of park staff.
Even on cloudy days, the combination of heat, humidity and walking can cause dehydration and exhaustion.
Drink water regularly, use sunscreen and take breaks when necessary. Travellers with limited mobility, young children or health concerns should plan their circuits carefully and avoid excessive physical effort during the hottest hours.
A close-up photograph is not worth a bite or scratch.
Do not corner animals, place children near them or attempt to touch them. Use the zoom function on your camera and let wildlife move freely through its natural habitat.
Iguazu Falls is not simply a backdrop for social media. Take photographs, but also put the camera away occasionally and experience the sound, mist, rainforest and extraordinary power of the water.
Responsible behaviour protects visitors, wildlife and one of the world’s most remarkable natural environments.
