Iguazú Falls tickets for the Argentine park

Iguazú Falls tickets for Argentina have a general daily admission price of 60,000 ARS from 1 June 2026. That is approximately 38.77 USD using the exchange-rate reference of 13 November 2026. The dollar amount is a planning conversion, rather than a dollar selling price, and excludes currency conversion charges. Keep the original peso amount in your budget when comparing admission with a guided visit.

Argentina and Brazil have separate national parks and separate admission arrangements. Start by choosing the country and visit date, then decide whether you want only park access or a package with transport and activities. A journey starting in Puerto Iguazú can cross into Brazil, so the departure town alone does not tell you which park ticket you need.

The Argentine general tariff is distinct from categories requiring proof of eligibility. Carry a valid identity document or passport for purchase and entry, plus documents supporting any reduced or exempt category. For a child aged exactly six, have the applicable category clarified when buying rather than budgeting on free admission. A hotel stay in Argentina is also insufficient by itself to establish eligibility for a Mercosur tariff in Brazil.

Buying Argentine admission and paying

Argentine park admission can be purchased online or at the entrance, with the same admission tariffs specified for those channels in the regulation published on 15 May 2026. Online purchase is recommended by the operator. Choose the correct visitor category and retain your ticket, especially if you intend to use the second-day reduction.

Payment options listed for Argentina include cash in Argentine pesos and Visa or Mastercard credit and debit cards. The approximate USD prices on this page are useful for comparison; arrange payment in the accepted form rather than relying on dollar cash. For transport to the entrance, use the separate airport and park arrival guide.

A second Argentine visit within 72 hours

The Argentine park offers a 50 percent reduction for a second paid visit within 72 hours of the first entry to the same park. At the general tariff effective from 1 June 2026, the reduced admission is 30,000 ARS, approximately 19.39 USD at the exchange-rate reference of 13 November 2026. The window extends beyond a rule limited to the next calendar day.

The reduced ticket is available online or at the entrance with the first-day ticket. Keep your original admission document accessible and plan the return around the time of your original entry. The Argentine reduction applies to the same park; budget separately for a visit across the border. The Argentine park guide helps you divide the walking routes across your visits.

Train access, boat rides and package conditions

The Argentine park ticket includes the ecological train, while Gran Aventura is a separate activity unless included in your chosen package. The two-day package presented here includes Argentine park admission, Gran Aventura, an English-speaking bilingual guide, activity transfers and a Three Borders catamaran cruise. Flights and hotel accommodation are included only with the corresponding option.

Gran Aventura combines a vehicle journey and boat ride in approximately two hours overall. Expect to get thoroughly wet. Participants need an original passport or DNI, must manage stairs and strong movements independently, and must understand and relay rescue instructions. Pregnancy and specified mobility, sight, hearing or cognitive restrictions exclude participation under the operator's conditions. Children under twelve cannot participate in Gran Aventura. Have eligibility for an exactly twelve-year-old confirmed directly. Weather and navigability affect operation. Read the boat ride guide before choosing a package for your party.

Booking Brazilian admission separately

Brazilian park admission has a general base price of 131 BRL in the tariff published on 19 December 2025. A voluntary fund contribution of 3 BRL brings the total to 134 BRL. Those amounts correspond to approximately 23.18 USD and 23.71 USD respectively using the exchange-rate reference of 13 November 2026.

The Brazilian operator recommends selecting a day and time online, subject to capacity. National park entry and bird park entry are separate services. A park ticket also leaves your international entry requirements to be arranged separately. Follow the Brazilian side planning guide for the journey from Puerto Iguazú.

Iguazú admission questions

How much is general Argentine admission?

60,000 ARS is the general Argentine daily tariff from 1 June 2026. The approximate equivalent is 38.77 USD at the exchange-rate reference of 13 November 2026. Argentina accepts peso cash and listed Visa or Mastercard payments; the conversion is for budgeting and is not a dollar cash tariff.

Is the train included in the Argentine ticket?

Yes, the Argentine park ticket includes the ecological train. Gran Aventura is a separate activity unless your chosen package includes it. Plan walking routes and transport together, and follow current park instructions for available services instead of treating a train inclusion as a promise that every route operates.

How does the second-day discount work?

50 percent is the reduction for a second paid visit to the same Argentine park within 72 hours of your first entry. Buy the reduced ticket online or at the entrance with your first-day ticket. Keep the original ticket available; the reduction concerns Argentina rather than admission in Brazil.
