Iguazú National Reserve is a protected area adjacent to the famous Iguazú Falls, providing a more tranquil alternative to the main falls circuit. Visitors can explore well-maintained trails through subtropical rainforest, spotting toucans, coatis, and butterflies. The reserve’s Green Trail and Upper Circuit offer elevated views of the falls and surrounding jungle, while the Lower Circuit brings you close to the water. It’s a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers seeking immersion in the region’s biodiversity without the crowds.

Don't miss

  • Walk the Green Trail for a gentle introduction to the rainforest and glimpses of monkeys and birds.
  • Hike the Upper Circuit for panoramic views of the falls from above.
  • Look for toucans, coatis, and colorful butterflies along the Lower Circuit.
