Camping Agreste Costa Ramón

It’s presumably safe to imagine that you’re in the area to see the mighty Iguazú Falls – for most it’s the highlight of a trip to Iguazú National Park (half an hour’s drive). Don’t be tempted to skimp on time here: as well as the falls (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and feature of the New Seven Wonders of Nature list), there are wildlife-spotting trips, hiking routes, boat rides and canyoning to get you into more corners of the park. Should the park’s wildlife be playing hard to get, pay a visit to the GüiráOga conservation centre or Biocentro Iguazu (both 15 minutes’ drive) for guaranteed sightings of birds and butterflies. It’s also worth stopping by the nearby La Aripuca to see some impressive wooden structures and learn about the perils of deforestation. And here’s one for fans of unusual experiences: on the far side of Puerto Iguazú is Three Frontiers (15 minutes away), where you can put your panoramic camera function to good use by sweeping round for a pic that takes in vistas of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay all at once.
