Where to stay in Iguazu: Brazil or Argentina?
When planning your stay at Iguazu Falls, there are three key decisions to make:
- Choose your country – Do you want to stay in Argentina or Brazil? Each side offers a different perspective of the falls, local culture, and hotel options.
- Inside or outside the Park – Staying inside the National Park gives you convenience and early access, but hotels outside the park are often more budget-friendly.
- Downtown or jungle lodge – Decide whether you prefer the convenience of a city hotel in Puerto Iguazú/Foz do Iguaçu or the ambiance of a jungle lodge immersed in nature outside the town.
These choices will shape your experience, helping you balance budget, convenience, and atmosphere.
