Money-Saving Tips for Iguazu Falls

  • Visit both sides if you can — they're completely different experiences (different countries, two days)
  • Argentine side: budget a full day; the Devil's Throat boat ride is the can't-miss
  • Stay at the Belmond Hotel das Cataratas (Brazilian side) if budget allows — only hotel inside the park
  • Bring a poncho and a dry bag; you will get soaked, especially on the Macuco Safari boat ride
  • Visit during shoulder season (March to May, September to November (avoid peak Brazilian summer crowds)) for the best balance of weather and prices
