The first time I went to Iguazu Falls I went in Easter without reservations, and would have had to sleep on the street if it had not been for a barber that had pity on me and invited me to stay at his home. If you are going to travel in Easter, July or August, don't run the risk of travelling without an hotel reservation. The rest of the year is low season and you should not have any problems. You do not need to take food to the National Parks. There is a good variety of restaurants in the park, Telecom, Internet, etc. An all-you-can-eat barbecue will cost you 5 or 6 dollars, excluding wine. In Puerto Iguazú you can eat for half that price, if you know where to go (Hotel Libertador). The bus to the falls from Puerto Iguazu is a half hour run, it runs twice an hour and costs less than one dollar. The admission fee for foreigners if US$10 per person. If you are going to come back the next day, get your ticket stamped before leaving the park, and you will have a fifty percent discount the next day on the admission fee. A cousin of mine visited me from Canada (George Breckenridge) and told me: I have been at the Niagara Falls, at Victoria Falls in India, and now Iguazú. Iguazú is the most beautiful of all three. The falls form a semicircle about a mile and a half wide, and consist of 275 individual falls that when the river is high form practically half a dozen of important falls. Iguazu is charming and I travel nearly every year to the falls. Avoid July and August, when accommodations are difficult to find and hotel prices are more than double. Summer can be very hot, so the best season to go is from April to October or November, excluding Easter, when prices are ski-high. I have stayed at four different hotels, but the best price-value is the Hotel Libertador, a very nice 3-star hotel, with a beautiful swimming pool, and with affordable rates, about US$35 to US$40 per night. The falls on the Brazilian side are very nice, but there is only one trail about one mile long, so two hours are enough. On the Argentine side you need some 8 hours to go to the Garganta del Diablo, Upper Circuit, Lower Circuit and San Martín Island. In Brazil you see all the falls at a glimpse. In Argentina you walk above and below the falls, enjoying the details. If you have less time, at least 4 hours, then visit the Upper and Lower Circuits. You might want to add the navigation under the falls, where you will get a real splash, and maybe overflying the falls from the Brazilian side. US Citizens need a visa to cross over to the Brazilian side.
