Things to Do in Puerto Iguazu

Want to know some of the standout things to do in Puerto Iguazu? Then have a look through our handpicked suggestions below...

1. Experience the Wonder of the Iguazu Falls

Whether you spell it Iguazu or Iguassu, these incredible waterfalls – the second largest in the world – are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And at 18km from Puerto Iguazú, you’ll probably hear their roar from your hostel bed!

2.Ogle the Obelisk at Hito Tres Fronteras

The Hito Tres Fronteras is formed by the intersection of the Iguazu and Parana Rivers. It separates Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Travel down to the obelisk painted in the Argentinean colors, and look out across Brazil and Paraguay at the same time!

3.Get Trapped in La Aripuca

La Aripuca is a massive replica of a wooden trap used by Argentina’s indigenous people. Normally, the target would be large birds but this replica has been built with a more human-sized prey in mind… So watch out!

4.Arts and Crafts Market

Stroll around this pleasant market and shop for a variety of local products. Specialties include basket works, ceramics, wood carvings and semi-precious stones.

5.Go Rafting

With those massive waterfalls nearby, the white water is pretty awesome around Puerto Iguazu. Prepare to get wet!
