    The Secret Garden B&B

    Posted by suzyhoddy 8 April 2008

    The Secret Garden is a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are comfortable, very clean and set within a beautiful tropical garden. The Inn is located a five-minute walk away from the main centre of Puerto Iguazu and a two-minute walk to the end of the road to get the public bus to the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls, Foz do Iguacu (Brazil) and Ciudad del Este (Paraguay).

    The proprietor of the Secret Garden is John Fernandes, an incredible chap who makes you feel welcome and is extremely interesting to talk to. Every night John hosts a 'Sundowner' with scrumptious caipirinhas and bruschettas, a fitting end to each day after seeing the beautiful Iguazu Falls. Its also a pleasant way to meet other people and pick up good tips on seeing the falls.

    John will also sort out any transport that you need and has some very good recommendations of local places to eat and drink. He arranged for us and another couple to visit the Brazilian side of the falls, a brilliant wildlife park and Ciudad del Este!

    There is no better way to stay and see the falls!

    The upper track of the platforms are completely wheelchair friendly. Imagine wheeling through over 100 waterfalls in the tropics. Amazing!

    The waterfalls (cataracas)

    Posted by AliD 19 August 2007

    These falls are simply magnificent. Bigger and better than either the Virginia or Niagara falls apparently. They can be easily visited from either the Brazilian or Argentinian side by public transport. The Brazilian side was my favourite as you get views of the whole of the falls.

    The Argentinian side gives you a more up-close-and-personal view but not one of the grandeur of them. If you have time go to both sides.

    Iguazu Falls

    Posted by rosamaria 15 March 2006

    I agree that it is best to see the incredible Iguazu Falls from both sides of the border if you possibly can. The Argentine side gives you the chance to get up close to the falls, and the national park is so beautiful. The Brazilian side gives a better overview of the falls, and you realise just how huge an area they cover. Get there early - whichever side you're on - to beat the crowds, and especially on the Brazilian side where there is a bizarre queuing and bus system that means it can take a couple of hours to get from the gates into the park. Well worth it though.

    Tours

    Posted by DaleMitchell 15 February 2006

    I would recommend everyone to take a tour on both the Argentine and Brazilian side of the falls.

    Take a bin bag with you

    Posted by FRSA 9 May 2006

    The Iguazú falls are stunning and breathtaking. My wife and I were there last year, it was truly spectacular and not to be missed.

    Take a bin bag with you to put your clothes in and keep them dry. Then walk around in your swimming costume. It's hot and humid and there's a lot of spray so you can get soaked, but it's wonderful. When you've finished you have dry clothes to put back on.

    Apart from the falls, check out the wildlife.

    On a couple of evenings either side of the full moon, the park on the Argentinian side is open in the evening. You need to get tickets in advance and they're limited so try early that day. It's really magical and easy to avoid the crowds.
