Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked

What's included in the ticket?

Iguazú National Park entry, all three walking circuits (Upper, Lower, Green Trail), and the Jungle Train to Garganta del Diablo with its Devil's Throat boardwalk. The speedboat-tier adds the Gran Aventura 4x4 + boat run under the falls (you will get soaked).

Argentine side or Brazilian side?

Different experiences. Argentine side: full day, walking through and among the falls, 275 cascades up close. Brazilian side: half day, panoramic viewing platforms looking back at the Argentine cascades. Most visitors who do one side do the Argentine for the depth. Visitors with 2+ days do both. This site covers the Argentine side only.

Do I need the speedboat?

Not necessary — the walking circuits and train cover the key views. The speedboat is a different category of experience: getting driven directly under waterfall curtains by a qualified driver, at high speed, in a specifically designed boat. Soaking is the point. If that sounds fun, yes; if it doesn't, skip it.

How much walking?

Upper Circuit: ~1.75 km on paved paths. Lower Circuit: ~1.7 km with stairs. Devil's Throat boardwalk: ~2.2 km total (train + boardwalk). Total day can be 6–8 km of walking, mostly flat. Bring good shoes.

What about coatimundis?

They're everywhere. Small ring-tailed mammals that WILL try to steal your food. Do not feed them (bite risk) and don't leave bags unzipped. They're genuinely aggressive around food.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes — under-6s free at the gate. Kids usually love the speedboat (age 10+), the train, and the sheer visual scale of the falls. The Devil's Throat boardwalk is safe but loud — toddlers may find the noise overwhelming. Strollers work on Upper but not Lower Circuit.

What's your refund policy?

Two situations trigger a full refund: (a) we cannot secure your park entry, or (b) the park closes (rare — happens during extreme flooding or wildfires). Outside those, tickets are non-transferable. Reply to your confirmation email 48h+ ahead and we'll try to move the date.

Is it safe?

Yes — the boardwalks are safe, the speedboat is run by qualified operators, the train is slow. Dangers are environmental (wet boardwalks, coatis around food, sunburn, dehydration in summer). Bring water and sunscreen. Watch for pickpockets on crowded boardwalks at peak times.
