Planning a trip with friends to Puerto Iguazu means coordinating flights into a small border town where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet—but once you're here, the logistics fade fast. The falls span nearly two miles, split between Argentine and Brazilian sides, giving your crew two full days of exploring before you've even scratched the surface. The town itself is small enough to navigate without stress but developed enough that you won't be roughing it.
