Puerto Iguazu is an incredible place where the streets are well signed and easy to navigate even for drivers accustomed to driving on the left side of the road. Remember, in Argentina, driving is on the right side of the road.

Car Class Recommendations

Compact cars are recommended for city sightseeing. For outdoor activities and more rugged terrains, a 4x4 vehicle would be ideal.

Parking

Street parking is available in Puerto Iguazu, but be sure to heed the local parking signs to avoid fines. Many hotels and accommodations also offer parking services.

Attractions

No trip would be complete without a visit to the Iguazu Falls, an awe-inspiring chain of mini waterfalls. You can also mystify yourself with other tourist hotspots such as the Itaipu Dam, Bird Park, and Hito 3 Fronteras.

Driving Routes

The most scenic route would be along the Route 12 which provides entrancing views of the Iguaza river. The Route 101 taking you to the Iguazu National Park is another picturesque drive to take.

Traffic Rules

Remember to carry your driving license, IDP (International Driving Permit) and passport whilst driving. Always fasten your seat belts and refrain from using your mobile phone while driving.

Beaches and City

While Puerto Iguazu doesn’t sport beaches, a dip in the river’s natural 'beaches' or pools is refreshing. The city itself carries a slow, enjoyable pace of life.

Airport, Train Stations, and Port

The Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport is the closest airport to Puerto Iguazu. The city does not have a train system or a port, but buses provide an ample means of public transport.

Climate

With a tropical climate, Puerto Iguazu has high temperatures throughout the year. During British winter, Puerto Iguazu can be very hot, as it's the Argentine summer.

Currency

The local currency is the Argentine Peso. It's worth noting that exchanging your Pound Sterling to Pesos isn't as commonplace in the smaller towns and cities as in Buenos Aires, so it’s advisable to come equipped.

Seasonal Events

Experience the local culture at the National Festival of the Mate and the Moonlight Festival at Iguazu Falls if you're visiting in February.
