Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport: where to stay, areas and…

The Cataratas del Iguazú airport is about 25 km from the centre of Puerto Iguazú, on the same road that also leads to the Iguazú National Park: it's reached only by shuttles and taxis, with no direct bus lines. Those who want the city centre, with its riverfront on the Triple Frontera, need to go down into town; those who prefer to sleep in the forest, a few minutes from both the centre and the entrance to the falls, can stay along the Selva Iryapú nature reserve.

Selva Iryapú and the area around the centre

Neighbourhood · From the airport, on the same road leading to the park, you can only arrive by shuttle or taxi: these two hotels are about 4.5-16 km from the city centre and the entrance to the falls, so roughly halfway between the two points.

Best for: Those who want to stay a few minutes from both the centre of Puerto Iguazú and the entrance to the Iguazú National Park, immersed in the forest.

Pros

Location within the Selva Iryapú nature reserve, amid forest and local wildlife
Closer to the entrance of the falls park than many lodgings in the city centre

Cons

Without your own car you depend on the hotel shuttles or a taxi even just to have dinner downtown
No direct walking connection with the centre of Puerto Iguazú
