Known as “ the city of the waterfalls�, Puerto Iguazú resembles a modern island, so picturesque in the midst of such magnificent virgin nature. Only 15 kilometres separate this port from the virgin jungles in the National Park Iguazú, one of the most important ecological treasures of our planet, due to the biodiversity it displays. It offers one of the most impressive natural scenes on earth: the Falls. The Falls have between 160 and 270 waterfalls which, depending on the river volume; reach a maximum front of almost 3 kilometres and a height of about 70 metres. Among the falls, the Devil’s Throat, made up of several falls in a semicircle of about 200 mt. width and 90 mt. height, is a major highlight. Steam and the noise of water give the landscape a distinctive halo of mystery. The thick green jungles around the falls –which have been declared, as well as the falls, Patrimony of Humanity- are the ideal place to go on photo safaris and discovering “ what cannot be seen� or for going horse-riding along the narrow paths in order to see the most amazing varieties of birds, flowers, insects, reptiles and there, where vegetation gets scarce, get in touch with some aboriginal communities.

Given its unique natural beauty, Puerto Iguazu is visited by hundreds of tourists every year. The city is prepared for lodging travellers of all budgets and needs. It can offer four and five-star international hotels (among them, the Cataratas Hotel, and the most modern one, the Casino Hotel), as well as cabins, hostels and camping sites. A tourist spot par excellence, Puerto Iguazú offers a wide range of water sports, the chance to listen to singing birds and to explore the fascinating possibilities of ecotourism.
