The tourist region called Iguazú comprises the entire area of the National Park bearing the same name. This park also includes the famous Falls, the main tourist attraction in the Province of Misiones.
Immersed in the lush rainforest of Misiones with the constant presence of the Iguazú River on its northern border, the area is characterized by its wildlife diversity which displays unique specimens. Its warm subtropical climate makes it suitable to welcome visitors year round.
The access to the region is the City of Puerto Iguazú. Offering all necessary services, it lies on the triple border, where the Argentinian, the Brazilian and the Paraguayan frontiers meet. There are roads connecting this area with those countries and the rest of Argentina, as well as an international airport.
