Iguazu Falls: tickets, prices and opening hours
Before visiting the Falls, it helps to understand how tickets and hours work — they're separate for each side.
⚠️ Prices and hours change through the year. Always confirm the latest on each park's official website before you go.
Tickets are separate by country
- Brazilian side (Iguaçu National Park): its own ticket, which includes the internal shuttle bus to the walkways.
- Argentine side (Iguazú National Park): its own separate ticket, paid in another country.
So to see both sides, you buy two tickets.
Hours
Both parks open daily, generally from morning to late afternoon (with a last entry before closing). Exact hours vary by season — check ahead.
Tips to buy and skip the line
- Buy online when possible — skip the ticket-booth line.
- Arrive at opening: fewer people and better light.
- Avoid weekends and holidays.
- On the Argentine side, remember you must cross the border (bring a document).
Summary
Each side has its own ticket and hours — plan two tickets to see both. Buy online, arrive early, and confirm the latest prices before heading out. See also how long and what to bring.
