Timing makes all the difference in Iguazu Falls. 275 waterfalls straddling Brazil and Argentina — one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Here is what Indian & Asian travellers should know about the seasons.

The short answer

The falls run year-round; the water is highest December–March, while May–September brings cooler, drier and more comfortable walking weather.

What makes Iguazu Falls special

  • The Brazilian side gives the panoramic view; the Argentine side puts you on top of the falls at the Devil's Throat.
  • The Devil's Throat is an 80-metre-high, U-shaped chasm where half the river's flow plunges at once.
  • An ecological jungle train carries visitors to the Argentine walkways.
  • The surrounding rainforest is home to toucans, coatis and hundreds of butterfly species.

Planning from India and Asia

Because flights from India are long-haul (typically 22–30 hours with one or two stops), it pays to book flights early for the peak season. Indian passport holders need a visa or e-visa for Brazil (e-Visa) and should check the latest Argentina and Chile entry rules before booking.
