Iguazu Falls Entrance Fee (2024)

It is impossible to see the Iguazu Falls without paying an entrance fee to the National parks, with the exception of a helicopter, or dangerously floating down the Iguazu, which we do not recommend. In Brazil, as in Argentina, the entrance fee is based on your country of residency, and below we have provided all you need to know about the national park entrance fees and how to get tickets for both sides of the falls.

BRAZIL SIDE OF IGUAZU FALLS ENTRANCE FEE

Brazilian nationals are entitled to the cheapest entrance fee to the falls, and then the next cheapest is for the citizens of Mercosur which include Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, or Venezuela. The rest of the world need to pay full price for their entrance to the National Park, but there is a child discount for kids up to 11 years.

You can enter the park from 09:00 am and the entry fee for the Brazilian side of the falls can be paid at the machines they have at the entrance to the park.

You can also buy your tickets online, and if you decide to get them in advance then you have to choose the time you will enter the park at the time of purchase. Therefore you will need to plan when you will be arriving at the park before you buy the tickets online.

TICKET PRICES FOR THE BRAZIL SIDE OF THE FALLS

The Iguazu ticket prices change a lot, and therefore if we published the prices on this page we would be always updating them. Therefore it is best to find the current prices for the ticket on the park’s official site.

Currencies accepted at the park are Brazilian Reals, USD, Argentine Pesos, and even Paraguayan Guarani. There is a cash machine at the entrance if you need to get out Brazilian Reals.

Shops, food kiosks, restaurants and boat trips located inside the park do accept credit cards. Once you enter there are free electric-run buses that take you to the start of the trail which you follow for different views of the falls.

ARGENTINE SIDE OF IGUAZU FALLS ENTRANCE FEE

Similar to the Brazilian entrance, the Argentina entrance fee is determined by where in the world you reside. Argentine nations have the cheapest entrance, followed by nationals of the Mercosur countries. The rest of the world pays a higher fee.

If you have children, the good news is they have just started offering children’s prices for kids from 6 to 16 years old, and younger enter free.

The train to the devil’s throat is included in the entrance fee but you must get tickets when you enter the park. Go to the train’s ticket desk as soon as you enter so that you get a convenient departure time because they fill up.

The park entry price does not include the boat rides under the falls which are operated by a private company. If you are thinking of doing the boat trip, then go to the Jungle Explorer ticket desk as soon as you enter to make sure you get a convenient boat time.

TICKET PRICES FOR THE ARGENTINE SIDE OF THE FALLS

Since the reopening of the park, after it closed because of the Pandemic, tickets to the park have to be bought online. You cannot just turn up at the falls and pay the entrance fee there. While booking your tickets on the website, you will also be asked to choose a time of entrance, so make sure you plan your transport to the falls to arrive there at the entry time you allocated.

Because of Argentine inflation, the price of entrance fluctuates a lot, so much so that even the park’s official page cannot keep up. But this is the best page to use as a guide for ticket prices and is also where you buy the Iguazu Falls entrance tickets: Iguazu Argentina

PRICES INSIDE THE ARGENTINE SIDE OF THE FALLS

There is an ATM cash machine inside the park, and all the restaurants, boat operators and shops do take credit cards. It is worth mentioning that food and drinks (even water) are very expensive on the Argentine side, while the Brazil side has more reasonable prices.
