You step out of the air‑conditioned vehicle and the forest immediately presses close — humid, green, and alive with bird calls. The trail hums beneath your boots as the roar builds into a physical presence; mist threads across the boardwalks and the first glimpses of cataracts glint through the canopy.

History
The park protects falls that have shaped regional culture for centuries; established as Iguazú National Park in Argentina in 1934, it later gained UNESCO recognition as part of a transboundary site.
Conservation
Visitor numbers and boat operations are managed to reduce erosion and disturbance; stay on marked paths and avoid feeding wildlife to limit human impact.

Wear water‑resistant outerwear
Mists and spray are constant near major viewpoints and on the boat; a lightweight waterproof shell keeps you comfortable without overheating.
Bring secure, grippy shoes
Boardwalks and stairs remain slippery — closed‑toe shoes with a good tread improve stability on wet surfaces.
Protect electronics in a dry bag
Phones and cameras get soaked near the Devil’s Throat and during the optional boat ride; waterproof cases prevent damage.
Start early to avoid crowds
Arriving with the first wave of visitors reduces waiting time for viewpoints and increases wildlife sightings in the morning calm.
Lightweight waterproof jacket
Keeps you dry from constant spray and sudden rain showers.
Sturdy walking shoes
Closed‑toe, grippy shoes handle wet ramps and uneven boardwalk sections.
Dry bag / waterproof phone case
Protects electronics during viewpoints and the optional boat ride.
Insect repellent
Reduces bites in humid forest sections, especially in warmer months.
