The first thing visitors notice is the noise — a constant, deep roar that fills the river valley and throws a cool, fine spray across the walkways. On arrival in Foz do Iguaçu the city’s heat meets the falls’ mist; boardwalks stretch like metal fingers over churning water and vistas open without warning, revealing curtains of water and rainbows where sunlight cuts through the spray.

History
Iguassu’s falls formed where the Paraná River flowed over resistant basalt layers; the area was long inhabited by Guarani communities and later recorded by European explorers in the 16th century.
Conservation
Iguazú/Iguaçu is protected by national parks on both sides; visitors should stay on trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and follow park rules to minimize human impact.

Bring your passport
You cross the Brazil–Argentina border on day two; keep passport and any visas handy in a waterproof sleeve.
Wear waterproof shoes
Boardwalks and viewpoints are wet from spray — quick-drying, grippy footwear prevents slips and blisters.
Start early
Morning light and thinner crowds make the Brazilian overlook and Argentine catwalks easier to enjoy and photograph.
Protect from insects
Pack DEET or picaridin repellent; forest edges and slower pools attract mosquitos, especially near dawn and dusk.
Passport & travel documents
Required for the Argentina border crossing and recommended in a waterproof sleeve.
Waterproof daypack or dry bag
Keeps camera, documents and extra layers dry amid heavy spray.
Sturdy walking shoes with grip
Boardwalks are wet and sometimes uneven — good soles are important for safety and comfort.
Light rain jacket
A compact waterproof layer blocks spray and tropical rain showers without overheating.
