Frequently asked questions

  • Should I see Iguazú from Brazil too?
    If your time allows, yes — the Brazilian side gives the panoramic view, the Argentine side the close-up. We can arrange the border crossing.
  • How much time for Iberá?
    Three nights minimum at a lodge. The wetlands reward patience: the longer you stay, the more you see.
