History
The falls formed where lava flows met faults in the Paraná Plateau; Indigenous Guarani communities historically lived along the riverbanks and named features of the landscape.
Conservation
Both national parks protect large tracts of Atlantic Forest; visitors are asked to stay on marked trails, avoid feeding wildlife and reduce plastic use to minimize impact.
Reserve your spot on the Day tour Cataratas Brazil and Argentina, both small group today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring ID for the border crossing
Carry your passport or ID card and a copy—drivers will cross an international border and officials may check documents.
Waterproof your gear
Mist from the falls soaks backpacks and cameras—use a dry bag or waterproof cover.
Start early for light and fewer people
Departing with morning light reduces crowds and improves photographic conditions on both sides.

Boardwalks can be wet and steps are frequent; shoes with traction and quick-dry fabric keep you comfortable.

Sturdy walking shoes with grip
Keeps footing secure on wet boardwalks and stair sections.
Dry bag or waterproof phone case
Prevents electronics and documents from water damage when close to the falls.
