Walk the Waterfalls Path (Trilha das Cataratas)

The best way to experience the Brazilian side is by following this 1.5 km trail that runs along the edge of the river. Every step brings a new, breathtaking viewpoint of the falls, but the grand finale? The Devil’s Throat platform, where you’ll stand above the raging waters, mist swirling around you. If you only do one thing, make it this.

Get drenched on the Macuco Safari Boat Ride

For the ultimate thrill, hop onto a speedboat that takes you right under the waterfalls. The Gran Aventura Experience is an absolute must—expect heart-racing moments as you get soaking wet while passing beneath the powerful cascades. Don’t even bother with a raincoat. Just embrace the splash!

See Iguazu from the sky with a helicopter ride

If you think Iguazu is impressive from the ground, wait until you see it from above. A 10-minute helicopter ride gives you an unbeatable panoramic view of the entire waterfall system, plus the lush rainforest that surrounds it. You’ll get the full scale of how massive this natural wonder truly is.

Visit the Parque das Aves (Bird Park)

Just outside the entrance of Iguaçu National Park is one of Brazil’s most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries.

A short drive from Iguazu Falls, this spot marks the point where Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet. There’s a viewing deck over the rivers, a light show at night, and a little cultural center showcasing local history. It’s especially magical at sunset when the sky turns golden over the water.

Ideal months: April–May & September–October

For great weather, moderate crowds, and good water flow, the shoulder seasons of April–May and September–October are the sweet spot. During these months:

  • Temperatures are comfortable (20–27°C / 68–80°F).
  • Crowds are thinner than during peak summer or winter holidays.
  • Water levels remain impressive, especially in April–May after summer rains.

Peak season: December–February

If you want to see the falls at maximum power, visit in the rainy season (Nov–March), especially in February when the river is at its fullest. However:

  • It’s hot and humid (30–36°C / 86–97°F).
  • Crowds peak during Christmas, New Year, and Carnival.

Dry season: June–August

Winter (June–August) brings mild temperatures (15–25°C / 59–77°F) and fewer tourists (except for July school holidays). However, water flow can be lower in some years, making the falls look less dramatic.

Best time of day to avoid crowds

⏰ Early morning (9–10am) or late afternoon (after 3pm) sees fewer crowds than midday.
⏰ Sunset visits offer magical lighting and fewer tourists—consider the sunset tour for a quieter experience.

💡 Pro tip: If visiting during peak season, go on a weekday instead of a weekend to avoid big tour groups.

Frequently asked questions and answers about Iguazu Falls Brazil

How long does it take to explore the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls?

The main trail on the Brazilian side takes around 2-3 hours to walk, depending on how long you stop at viewpoints. If you’re adding a boat ride, helicopter tour, or bird park visit, plan for 4-5 hours.

Is it better to visit the Brazilian or Argentinian side first?

If you’re visiting both sides, start with Brazil for a panoramic overview and then Argentina for closer encounters with the falls. If you only have time for one, Argentina has more trails and up-close views, but Brazil offers the most dramatic perspectives.

What wildlife might I see at Iguazu Falls?

Expect to see toucans, macaws, coatis, capuchin monkeys, butterflies, and possibly jaguars (though rare). Be cautious with coatis—they steal food and can be aggressive.

Do I need to carry my passport to enter the park?

Yes, especially if you’re coming from Argentina. Border control officers may ask for it when crossing between countries.
