- Distance: ~20 km (12 miles) to the Argentine park entrance
- Travel time: ~30 to 40 minutes by road
- Best for: The classic Iguazu experience — most tours depart from here
Puerto Iguazú is the most popular base for visiting the Iguazu waterfalls, and honestly it's easy to see why. You're practically on the doorstep of the Argentine side, which means shorter transfers, more time at the falls, and easier access to the iconic Devil's Throat viewpoint. Most guided tours include hotel pickups right from the town center, so there's zero stress on logistics. If you're planning to do both the Argentine and Brazilian sides, this is also a great starting point since crossover tours run regularly from here.
