You step off the park train and the air changes—humid, green, the constant percussion of falling water rearranging the world. Walkways extend like metal ribs over the canyon; at the end, Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat) roars, water hurling itself into the chasm below as mist dares you to get closer.

Wildlife
History
Iguazú National Park was created in 1934 to protect the waterfalls and subtropical forest; the area is part of the wider binational ecosystem shared with Brazil.
Conservation
Stick to marked trails and do not feed wildlife—the park uses entry fees and visitation rules to fund conservation and reduce human impact.

Carry your passport
Border crossings and park entry require a valid passport—keep it waterproofed and accessible for customs checks.
Wear grippy shoes
Boardwalks and stairs get slippery from spray; closed-toe shoes with good traction reduce slip risk.
Protect electronics
Bring a small dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras—mist from the Devil's Throat can soak gear quickly.
Buy park tickets early
Entrance tickets to Iguazú National Park can be purchased at the Visitor Center or online—arrive early to avoid queues for the train and viewpoints.
Light waterproof jacket
Shower-like mist and sudden rain are common; a lightweight shell keeps you dry without overheating.
Quick-dry clothing
Moisture from spray and humidity means materials that dry quickly are more comfortable during the day.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Good traction helps on wet boardwalks, stairs and the boat embarkation areas.
Waterproof phone/camera pouch
Protect electronics from spray during the boat ride and near the Devil's Throat viewpoints.
