Attractions in Iguazu Falls – Brazil side

The battle for Iguazu Falls bragging rights rages on! You see, Iguazu is shared by two countries- Brazil and Argentina. There is always an argument which side is better.

I’m firmly on Team Brazil, but Sarantos is convinced Argentina’s where it’s at 😂.

Argentina’s all about falls immersion with bridges over the water. But Brazil’s got the better view – you can see the whole waterfall range without obstruction.

And yes, that last ‘hiking’ segment of the bridge over the water is crazy touristy, but it is absolutely gorgeous! Totally worth a visit!

On your visit, you can experience both sides. It only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to cross the border, and you can hike on both sides and judge for yourself.

Parque Das Aves
Parque Das Aves, a bird-dedicated park, defied expectations. Usually, caged birds disappoint, but our friends’ glowing reviews convinced us to try it. The park’s uniqueness impressed, boasting a 1.5 km aviary where you stroll through a forest-like setting amidst diverse birds.

The rainforest-like environment features indigenous Brazilian plants and several aviaries for interacting with various bird species. I was captivated and would’ve stayed all day, particularly enjoying the parrot enclosure.

The entrance fee is $16 USD and it is a great value for your money! I highly recommend it.
