IGUAZU FALLS - BOTH SIDES / TIPS/ BEST HOTEL/ REVIEW

I travel to Iguazu Falls - a natural wonder of the world that borders on Brazil and Argentina. I show you BOTH SIDES with trails and best views, try the Devil's Throat Boat tour experience under the falls, give you a tour of the best hotel in the area and review the whole experience along with some useful tips. Watch in HD and leave comments / subscribe if you found this video helpful.

NOTES:
- Flights from Buenos Aires like the one I took are 5-6 times daily and affordable, book last minute if you can as the weather can be unpredictable in Iguazu.
- You can easily see both sides in one quick day trip if you start early and plan well. Count roughly 9-10 hours for both sides including travel time.
- The drive between the Argentina and Brazil side is roughly 45 min, don't forget your passport and Covid certificate for the border.
- At the Brazil side you have to either take a bus or drive another 15 mins with your guide from the visitor entrance to the falls. Keep this in mind when planning.
-Even though card is accepted everywhere, it's always good to have Argentinian Pesos and Brazilian Reals to get a better exchange rate.
- Even when you stay in the Gran Melia which is inside the Iguazu Park on the Argentina side, you still need to buy park tickets to enter ahead of time, but you can do this just once for your entire stay.
- The waterfall view room in Gran Melia is worth the extra money in my opinion!
- The boat tour is cheaper on the Argentina side but better organised on the Brazil side. I highly recommend taking your shoes off, bringing a raincoat and leaving all your belongings in the lockers provided. You will get DRENCHED.
- Be mindful of the wildlife in this huge protected area - remember it's their natural habitat and there are many conservation programs that work daily to keep it this way. Don't touch the animals / insects or stand in their way.

Iguazu Falls is just mesmerising.
Your presentation, detailing, overall capture & the minute details are brilliant !!
Felt like I visited the falls with your detailing. Keep inspiring everyone Kristina !!

Epic vlog of one of the majestic waterfalls in the world. Remarkably, you've captured both sides of it.

Spectacular views of the Iguazu Falls. I guess the experience of approaching by boat under the falls has been exciting. Never better said; refreshing vlog, Kristina.

Не замечал там такую одежду. Носить её сейчас не кто не будет, у нас это не модно, она только для ценителей- коллекционеров. Но в следующий раз буду смотреть внимательно! Кстати, в каком-то видео ты снималась в кофте с надписью " Vintage ", теперь понятно, почему! Только бываю там редко, примерно 1 раз в месяц и всегда с Алисой. Ей почему-то нравится там ходить и смотреть на старые вещи. Получается, в этом вы с ней то-же похожи? Необычно!

[Vitaliy-speciallyfor_KristinaH]

В моём городе то-же будет мини-парад. Только попасть туда сложно- дороги перекроют, вокруг образуются пробки, парковаться негде. Поэтому я дома буду смотреть московский по телевизору. Во всей стране меры безопасности усилены, даже будут проблемы с мобильным интернетом.

[Vitaliy-speciallyfor_KristinaH]

Продолжай снимать, не останавливайся! Всё, за что ты берёшься, получается прекрасным и восхитительным! К сожалению, не все это понимают и ценят. Не знаю, как у вас в Европе, а у нас смотрят всякую чушь- чем глупее, тем интереснее. Раньше такое было с ТВ, а сейчас по сему интернету. А в соцсетях ещё и всякую ерунду пишут и репостят. А ты делишься с нами своей жизнью и мировоззрением! Способствуешь творчеству других людей, в разных странах и на разных континентах! Несешь миру только прекрасное!

Very nice video. It is said that Argentina puts the scenery and Brasil de seats, but the three trails of the Argentine side give a more immersive experience. In the low circuit you can see the falls from below, almost falling on your head, be prepared for the misty fog caused by the splashes on the rocks. The upper circuit goes on top of each jump of water where you see the water "dissapearing" in front of you, and you see a panoramic view. An the third circuit is the one that arrives to Garganta del Diablo, Devil's Throat where the sound of the water is marvelous. Is this trail, that crosses the river on the upper side that regularly is washed away with the floods. It's built in a modular way to be rebuilt in short time.
All the rives in Southamerica are quite unstable with very big floods and draughts. While Iguazú (from guaraní language i=water and guazú=big) is quite a small tributary of the Paraná, the Iguazú falls are superb.
There is a fourth trail on the Argentine side which goes far from the falls but give a good taste of the subtropical forest.

Hello! I came from Japan to watch your video (^^)/
IGUAZU FALLS is the tourist spot that I want to visit the most, but it is too far from Japan to Brazil.
You introduced me to a great video, and now I feel like I don't have to go (^^)/
thank you! !

Beautiful Iguazu Falls but more beautiful Kristina a hug from Costa Rica

[ronaldo]

Very beautiful place, with the very beautiful Kristina ❤ Thanks!

[MarcSob]

This place is wonderful, I've been three times on both sides, the Argentine side is beautiful but the Brazilian side is much more beautiful and bigger! Certainly more beautiful than Niagara, which I've also been to, recently even! Great content as always, Keep up the incredible work!

[Vitaliy-speciallyfor_KristinaH]

Я не понял, хорошо или плохо ты относишься к Трампу, поэтому скажу своё мнение. Блестящий шоумен, настоящий лидер, волевой и целеустремлённый, смелый и решительный, лучший президент США современности! Я его уважаю, восхищаюсь его стойкостью в борьбе! Но при этом он враг моей страны- достойный враг! Теперь ты знаешь, что я думаю.

Hi Kristina
Wonderful video! When did you visit? When is the best time to visit the falls? 😊

[Imfreefromsin]

how many days to see both side ?? great video God blessing ☝️ thank you from Auckland NZ 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[NLMusique]

Great video. I do have a question though. I'm coming on a cruise ship and I only have 1 day. I'm also a photographer who takes landscape photos. Which side would you recommend that I visit because of my short time?

[janetan]

Hi kristina, how can I contact your tour guide and how much does it cost for a whole day guide for both countries falls plus boat tour?

[pg]

If you visit the Brazilian side then you must show your cholera vaccination to get into countries like Columbia so keep that in mind.

[alejandromartin]

Hello, how are you, there is an anecdote here in Argentina, when the president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, came to visit, they took him to the iguazu falls, and he was very surprised, in such a way, that the first thing he said was poor the waterfall How small it is from Niagara in relation to what I'm seeing, they are gigantic, from that moment the president began to send people to see them, and that's how they became very important, these falls

[enricocurcio]

Salute from Brasil Kristina, tell me if u pretend to come to Brasilia, love your vlogs

[estudiantes]

You said the falls are relatively close to Buenos Aires. That's because you traveled by plane (2 hours). It would have taken you 22 hours on a bus.
