Skip the crowds at Iguazu and cross into Paraguay for a private visit to the 40‑meter Monday Falls. This short, forested walk leads to multiple viewpoints and an intimate hour at a powerful, lesser‑visited cascade.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the vehicle and the forest answers with a steady, breathy roar: Monday Falls is close. The air is humid and green; a 40‑meter curtain of water throws spray into the canopy below while footpaths thread through low Atlantic forest. On a private visit from Iguazu you control the pace — lingering at viewpoints, letting the mist cool your face, and listening as the river pushes forward over sculpted basalt.
