Holiday apartment in Iguazu Falls

A holiday apartment in Iguazu Falls offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Impressive nature and experience Iguazu Falls like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

The Iguazu Falls are one of the most magnificent natural spectacles on our planet - a thundering amphitheater of 275 individual waterfalls plunging nearly three kilometers wide into the depths. Located on the border between Argentina and Brazil, they surpass Niagara Falls in both width and height and have rightly been chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. Standing before the Garganta del Diablo, the Devil's Throat, where the water masses plunge 80 meters down and a permanent mist cloud obscures the sky, one understands why Eleanor Roosevelt found only one word during her visit: Poor Niagara.

The Argentine National Park offers a more intense experience. A system of walkways and trails leads directly to the waterfalls - so close that you can feel the spray on your face and the roar of the water vibrating in your chest. The Upper Circuit offers panoramic views from above, the Lower Circuit leads directly to the foot of the falls, and Isla San Martin is an adventure in itself. The absolute highlight is the 1.1-kilometer walkway over the river to the Garganta del Diablo, where you stand at the edge of the abyss and gaze into the roaring chasm.

The Brazilian side offers a better overall view of the panorama of the falls. Visiting both sides is highly recommended and easily possible with a border crossing. The subtropical rainforest surrounding the falls is home to an amazing diversity of species - toucans, coatis, butterflies of all colors, and with a bit of luck, even jaguars in the more remote regions of the park.

From Germany, you fly to Buenos Aires (about 14 hours) and then take a domestic flight to Puerto Iguazu (1.5 hours) or to Foz do Iguacu on the Brazilian side. The best travel time is from March to May and from August to October, when water levels are high but the heat remains bearable. In the peak summer (December to February), temperatures rise above 35°C with high humidity.
