Iguazú National Park: What to see in the surroundings?
The Iguazu waterfalls are a natural wonder. They are in the middle of a tropical forest, between Argentina and Brazil, and are absolutely unmissable.
My suggestion
You can visit the Argentinian side and the Brazilian side. The visit on the Argentine side is better - there are more walkways and different view points and you can even get a boat to take you to the foot of the falls - not to be missed!

Iguazu National Park is the unmissable emblematic natural site of South America for everyone during a trip to Argentina.
My suggestion
You often hear people arguing about whether it's better to see Iguazu waterfalls from the Argentine or Brazilian side. I think you should see it from both sides. So, you'll need 2 days there

Iguazu National Park is in the extreme north east of Argentina, on the Brazilian frontier, and its famous waterfalls have made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
My suggestion
If you are going to visit Iguazu in Argentina, don't forget to take water and good walking shoes because a visit to the Argentine side of the park will take the whole day. On the other hand, the Brazilian side is not worth visiting.
