Ecological park
Sights & Landmarks
La Aripuca is a unique ecological theme park located in Puerto Iguazu, Argentina. It serves as an educational attraction that raises awareness about deforestation. The park features a large model trap constructed from endangered trees and offers guided tours with informative facts about the impact of deforestation. Visitors can explore a house made from massive tree trunks and learn about the culture and history of the indigenous people through exhibitions and crafts.
The place is just breathtaking. It makes you feel surrounded by nature. A place I would totally recommend!

It's a nice place to visit if you have some time to spare. We arrived close to closing hours, so they let us in without paying. The guide gave us a short introduction to the park, and then we just wandered around for a bit.

A tourist trap! Nothing to see only to buy, wooden furniture and local trinkets. The admission fee is 5 argentina pesos. In the main building they have 4 signs with info about the flowers, animals and the species of trees. The rest of the area has a restaurant, bar and gift shops. The town shops offer the same or similar souvenirs with half price. Disappointed i wouldn’t recommend a visit
Codito ( — Google review
One star for the girl giving the introduction to the "park". The little wooden trap demonstration that ended with her saying; Then here we use big wood to catch people like you! Was absolutely genius. So the deal is you pay 5000 pesos to go to a souvenir shop. There's a restaurant too and some ice-cream. But all of these you can find from the city centre without paying entrance fee. And those bid tree trunks. You can see big tree trunks at the entrance gate without paying anything. Sure they had piled some of them for a building, but to be honest PlayStation 2 is more interesting than this here park. Except for the girl giving introduction, she was amazing telling straight to your face you have stepped into a tourist trap!

Entrance was $500 pesos when I visited. It's a great place to spend a slow afternoon. The property is nice and the structures they've created are pretty amazing. The short tour (which they also offered in English) was meaningful and gave enough information to appreciate the property. There is a restaurant on property and souvenir shops.

What an incredible beautiful place. It is absolutely amazing to see the size of the trees humans have destroyed for clearing. And it is noble of this family to have made this place to show the size of the trees that once grew in this tropical forest. It is worth visiting and to explain to children to look after their world

Not much to do there. Nice place for pictures. It is supposed to be a place for the preservation of the forest but all what you see are cut trees and furniture made of wood. (Hope it is recycled)

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Hito Tres Fronteras, also known as the Three Borders Landmark, is a significant park located at the meeting point of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. This landmark features an obelisk painted in the colors of the Paraguayan flag and offers stunning views of the Iguazu and Parana rivers. Recently renovated, it now includes a lookout point and green spaces for visitors to admire the beauty of the trinational region.
FREE! Nice and quiet! Not crazy like in Brazilian side where you pay 55 reals (£8)… So yes.. Argentina side had nice little market where you could buy souvenirs and peacefully look at the river where three countries meet!

Very interesting observation point. The view is impressive too. There is a nice souvenir shop nearby with decent variety. Also there is a taxi service as well which is very convenient if you want to return to your hotel quicker.

A nice scenic view. There are a couple restaurants nearby and a row of vendors selling mostly souvenirs. There's a taxi stand and bus stop a few meters away if you're too tire to walk. There's a clean bathroom (ARS 200) behind the vendors area. Unfortunately, no one in this area speaks English. Don't visit in the middle of the afternoon. There's very little shades.

Welcome to the Argentine side of the Three Borders—where Argentina politely waves at Brazil and Paraguay across two majestic rivers, and everyone agrees to disagree on who has the best view. This scenic spot is like a geopolitical group hug with a view! You stand on a peaceful riverbank, sip a cold drink, and say things like “Wow, that’s Brazil over there, and hey, that’s Paraguay! And here I am… still in Argentina… paying for empanadas with a 1,000 peso note and getting 25 pesos in change.” There are three big stone markers, each one proudly painted with a national flag. Or at least they were—right now they look like they’ve been through one too many rainy seasons and a political debate. A little touch-up and they’d be selfie-ready again. Think of them as the tired but lovable uncles at a family reunion. The restaurant nearby lets you dine right by the river, so you can argue with your travel companion about which country has the better cuisine while enjoying a plate of milanesa. Souvenir shops abound, selling everything from keychains to the kind of wooden parrots that only make sense on vacation. Also, the walk along the river is surprisingly serene. You might even find your inner philosopher while watching two mighty rivers merge… before remembering you forgot bug spray. (Seriously. Pack it. The mosquitoes here are tri-national and seem to have visa-free access.) The real highlight is the bridge between Brazil and Paraguay off in the distance. It’s beautiful, symbolic, and looks like it knows it's in a postcard.

Scenic viewpoint overlooking the meeting point of the Paraná and Iguazú rivers, where Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil converge. The area features several souvenir shops and a restaurant offering picturesque riverfront dining. Three distinct stone markers, each bearing the flag of one of the bordering countries, mark the tri-border location—though they could use a fresh coat of paint. Visitors can also enjoy a peaceful riverside walk, making it a great spot for both sightseeing and relaxing.

Wildlife refuge
Nature & Parks
Güirá Oga is a wildlife sanctuary and rehabilitation center located just outside Puerto Iguazu, Argentina. The 19-hectare refuge is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating native fauna such as monkeys, toucans, ocelots, and other animals. Visitors can support conservation efforts by taking guided tours to learn about the significance of wildlife protection and rehabilitation.
This place is amazing! A really great cause to support and an awesome opportunity to see heaps of animals including toucans, vultures, pumas, jaguars, tapirs, and many more. You have to do a guided tour, most of which are in Spanish but they do have infrequent English tours. We went on a Spanish tour as the English tours were finished for the day but we were lucky enough to have Max as our guide who very kindly translated the tour into English for us. If you don’t have an English speaking guide (which we didn’t for part of the tour after Max had to leave), you can use the live Google Translate feature that translates Spanish in real time - it was good enough to get an idea of what the guide was saying. We paid 13,500 pesos (~$15 USD pp as of April 24) which we thought was well worth paying!

Max was a fantastic tour guide. Animal stories are interesting. Remember to keep hands and arms inside trailer during tractor ride. Trailer can get within an inch of large trees.

Guira Oga provides guided 1.5 hours tour for $20,000 pp (English tours are at 10:00am). Max the guide explained how the animals arrive at their sanctuary, the stories behind their forever animals (birds, pumas, tapir, otters and so much more), why some are in big and small cages. The pace is relaxing and it’s suitable for people of all ages and capacity.

Wonderful attraction. This is not a zoo. It’s focused on saving and rehabilitating the animals. It’s very ecologically focused and offers an opportunity to see the animals very close up. The tour lasts 1 1/2 hours and the guide is very knowledgeable and informative. This a worthwhile activity and kid friendly.

I rarely leave a review, but thought it was important to this time as I nearly didn't go after reading the bad reviews that some people had left here and this place relies on visitors for funding. So in a nutshell: I had a guide who spoke English, he was knowledgeable and friendly. This place is deffo not a zoo and you only see some of the animals, mostly the ones that are not going to be released because they wouldn't survive for very long (because they're domesticated, or they needed to learn how to survive with their parents who died, or they're crippled). It was interesting to learn about the work they do and how they try to keep things interesting for the animals by enriching their environment as much as possible, also to learn about the strategies they have to release babies that result from some programs they have.
Tessa Z — Google review
Really nice tour, it's peacefully and it's a perfect timing. Approx 1h30 There are only animals that aren't capable of being in the nature anymore Not a lot of mosquitoes. The guides are really friendly and give you lots of information about the animals and the region. I highly recommend as it worth it.

I’ve never seen such a big Duty Free! I loved how it’s decorated: every new hall is another city and products are sorted according to the theme. There are really many things to check here, but I found many prices expensive. It’s worth to come even to only see it inside.

Like walking into a blend of Disneyland and a perfume trade show. Its glitzy, scented, and slightly surreal. Shelves gleamed, brands beckoned… and yet, we bought nothing. Not even my wife. That alone feels like an Olympic-level achievement. Fun to wander through, but more spectacle than shopping spree.

This duty free is like a museum or an amusement park, because it’s decorated very well! The rooms are made like different cities / countries: London, Italy, Paris, Switzerland, etc. There’s a big choice of food, alcohol, cosmetics, clothes, toys, gadgets.

This place is not located inside Argentina. It outside of Argentina and inside Brazil as far as border control goes. You cannot enter from inside Argentina. You need to get stamped out of Argentina to enter or just enter from inside Brazil. It is really Duty Free Foz Do Iguaçu not Duty Free Puerto Iguazu.

Restaurante La Rueda 1975 is a charming dining spot that has been serving up delicious meals since its establishment in 1975. The restaurant offers a delightful mix of seafood, Argentinian steaks, and pasta, accompanied by local wines. The traditional decor adds to the overall ambiance, while the friendly and attentive service ensures a pleasant dining experience. The menu boasts an array of personalized dishes featuring exotic ingredients inspired by international cuisine.
Beautiful! Busy at 7pm which is so not Argentinian; all of our dishes were well presented and well thought out. The Dijon mustard bondiola and creamy potatoes gratin was the showstopper, followed by the stuffed local fish and penne with bocconcini. Loved the service, ambiance and pretty much everything. Definitely one of the better places to eat in Iguazu!

Excellent restaurant! We had the shrimp on surubi paste as starters, the shrimp and salmon risotto and the lava cake. They give a generous portion of bread! The starter was really tasty but the lava cake felt a bit overcooked (would have liked it more molten in the middle). Great experience overall!

La Rueda is an amazing restaurant! I went there with two friends and we were very well taken care of. The food was delicious, we ordered starters, empanadas bori bori with corazon, then bife de chorizo, and finished with a banana pancake with dulce de leche for dessert. Everything was perfect! The atmosphere is really pleasant, with great ambient music that still allows for good conversation. Highly recommend!

La Rueda in Puerto Iguazu. A turisty orientated place. "Typically" decorated. Service was ok and the food ok as well. Price was acceptable for two people 68600 pesos. The food, the "empanada de Bori Bori" was excellent, although the "tabla misionera" was just ok. The Ribeye was excellent, albeit slightly overcooked, I ordered a rare and was served a medium rare, but it was very good. The Ravioli were over cooked and over sauced. Acceptable. Not expensive for Argentina

Overall, not the best meal I’ve had in Argentina but could still be one of the better options available for dinner in Iguazu. The best part of the dinner was likely the bread basket as the steak was good but not stellar and the potatoes were quite flavorless. Overall, not a bad meal but also not a memorable one.

Known for its innovative approach and adaptation to diverse needs, it stands out as one of the best Grill Restaurants in Argentina. The restaurant offers a delectable selection of Argentine beef cuts paired with aged wines, providing an exceptional gastronomic experience.
Great Argentinian experience. We arrived from the Brazilian side and the restaurant is very close to the border checkpoint. The grilled steak and red wine were fantastic. I enjoyed the tango performance a lot and the teachers invited us to dance on stage. I would love to stay longer to learn the tango dance!
Kenneth K — Google review
Amazing service! All I had to do was look up and our server was right there every time. They were busy, too. He was very thoughtful and double checked a menu item to make sure it was gluten free. It wasn’t. That attention to detail prevented a medical emergency. Kudos! The shows were excellent as well. The dancers were great and seemed to enjoy entertaining us. The band that played between the dance shows is superb. What a great experience. The food…not so much. Part of my opinion is personal preference, such as the Caprese salad. I prefer the fresh, soft mozzarella and more tomatoes. The pesto was delicious, but between it and the cheese it needed more tomatoes to balance the flavor. My tenderloin steak was cooked to my specifications and the presentation was great, but the meat was full of gristle and very tough. The wok vegetables were unimpressive, but I appreciate their attempt to provide a vegetarian and gluten free alternative. I saw other tables with impressive displays of carne asada. Perhaps, we just ordered the wrong food for this night. Overall, this is a superior experience. Meat can be very variable in its quality. You should give this place a try.

If you're visiting Foz do Iguaçu, do yourself a favor and cross the border to Puerto Iguazú to experience El Quincho del Tío Querido — an absolute gem for authentic Argentinian Asado! The location is super convenient, just minutes from the border and a short walk from the Feirinha, but trust me, this place is far superior in both quality and value. The meat is served sizzling on a hot grill right at your table — juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Pair it with a cold Quilmes beer and you've got the perfect Argentinian combo. The service is top-notch: friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making your experience unforgettable.

Fancy restaurant with decent prices. They definitely go with quantity over quality, as our meals were all huge and I would have preferred a bit more quality. We did get the 1/2 barbeque for 2 people and 3-4 people could have eaten it. Note the chicken does NOT come with the barbecue - while it was put on top of the meat, it was for another dish.

Everything was superb Romantic atmosphere Walk-in at 19:30 hours with no reservations Pleasantly greeted by the kind staff(English speakers) . Food: Ribeye, cooked medium rare. Perfect temperature. Juicy and tender. Lovely steak Gnocchi : light bouncy texture, served with mushroom cream sauce . Very delicious River Fish(forgot the name): tender and flacky. Squeeze lemon for a refreshing kick Saffron shrimp risotto : creamy saffron. Risotto was not aldente, but still good Braised pork shoulders was way too dry . The sweet potato mash was very good Fried yuca was perfectly fried. It had a nice crispy and creamy texture. A must order Table side bread was not interesting . Served with balsamic and olive oil. Nice touch . Wine: Сlaroscuro blend(Cabernet Sauvignon and Melbec ). Berry flavors, Very smooth with Light tannins. Complemented the meal One of the best meals in Iguazu. If this review was helpful, please give it a 👍 Happy Eats !!!!!

I don't understand any of the bad reviews for this place. We came on a Monday night early October, no reservation but it got packed. The service was excellent, the waitress helped us with some great recommendations including wine and dessert. The food was delicious, we tried the mixed platter of local entrees, and a beautiful cut of beef they cooked perfectly to our request of medium rare, melt in your mouth. We then tried the dessert platter and dulce de leche pancakes, the favourite being the yerba mate brulee. You won't be disappointed going here, I'd suggest to make a reservation just to be safe.

We also ordered 375 ml of Familia gascon Malbek.

We had an amazing time trying all the different argentinean flavours paired with great wines. It was fun, interactive, informative and delicious. The hosts (we especially were taken care of by Malena) made sure we were having a good time and explained everything in both English and Portuguese quite well. I am Argentinean and felt that our culture was well represented so my boyfriend’s first time here was pretty accurate and nice. I would recommend the experience to everyone on their first time in Argentina and for locals too to taste our traditions with the twist this restaurant gave them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A five-star experience from start to finish! It was such an interesting and fun hands-on workshop — we got to make our own drinks, empanadas, mate, and even dessert. The service from Bruno and his team was absolutely amazing. I personally loved the appetizers — every single one was delicious — and the steak was really good too. Highly recommend this experience!
Debby D — Google review
What to expect! A very detailed review of the evening that included the optional (extra $) wine tasting. Let’s start with the wine tasting. We tasted three wines. One white and three reds. The pours were generous. We each had our own plates of cheese to pair with the wines along with two other small veggie bites including a veggie croquette. Yucca fries were available to share. I would’ve liked to have tasted one more wine. They were generous pours, but again, it was a sampling of three. It would be nice if they added a sparkling. Our guide, Bruno, was very knowledgeable about the wines and the wine maker and the region. He spoke in English and Spanish. We were about 15 minutes late for the tasting, and we really truly felt terrible, but our cab never showed up. But they waited for us. Thank you! I would give the wine tasting experience 4 out of 5 stars. Again, it was very good, but a fourth glass really seems like more of a true tasting. Let’s move on to the main event! The dinner. This was excellent from start to finish. The servers, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and the laughing. Bruno was again our guide, but he seemed to be really invested during the dinner experience. He was informative at the wine tasting, but he was quite the interesting guide and performer during the dinner, and his sense of humor really shone! I really enjoyed how interactive the experience was. There were two elements that were interactive. The first was when we made our own wine cocktail. The second was the empanada making. Empanada making was surprisingly easy! Note that each guest only makes one empanada. But, as others have noted, there is a gracious plenty of food. You will not go hungry! What to expect: When you arrive there will be a champagne-ginger cocktail at the table. While you are finishing that, the other guests arrive. Then, together, you all make a red wine cocktail. This was a highlight, and listening to all the guests shake their cocktail shakers all art once was really fun. See video. Then the courses come out and wine is paired with the courses. In addition to the empanadas, there was chorizo and chicken and an amuse bouche that included fish, also bread and salsas plus steak and plenty of roasted ‘gaucho’ vegetables. There was dessert, and we all received an education in mate and prepared our own. The dinner includes unlimited wine. Tip: be sure to ask for the type that you wish to be refilled. Bruno is the ‘Emcee’ of the night, but there is also a server rotating. It is the server that you need to ask for refills. This dinner began with white wines which paired with the appetizers and then moved to the reds with the meats and cheeses. Bruno remained full of good humor throughout the evening, and the server was efficient to pick up dishes and replace plates. The entire experience ended at about 1030. The room where the tasting and the dinner was held was beautiful and warmly lit. This was truly a highlight of our time in Iguaza.

Wow! What a great experience! It was so much fun and immersive into Argentine food and drinks! We made our own cocktails with their guidance, empanadas and had several other courses including dessert and mate, the famous tea from Argentina! We can’t forget that they also served 3 different wines with the various courses!The steaks were outstanding and cooked to perfection! They also cater to gluten free and vegetarian diets. One of the couples with us didn’t drink alcohol so they had substitutions for that as well! Bruno, Angelo and Aileen were so friendly and patient with so many people there in their own conversations! It’s an excellent way to meet others from around the world. At our table were people from New York, Utah, California, Mexico City, Australia and Ukraine! What a blast we had by all!

It was an incredibly pleasant experience. The ambiance was not only inviting but also very comfortable. The setup, with the social table, was particularly engaging. We were a diverse group of around 17 individuals, hailing from 8 different countries. The best part was the connections I forged with most of them. Through handshakes and conversations, I established meaningful connections. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of perfect. It's wonderful to recall such a positive and enjoyable encounter. 😍🌟

The owner is an artist and you can see her art sprinkled around the restaurant. There is art at every step of your meal, from the dinnerware to the food presentation. The dishes are taken to the next level with experimentation of flavors that I haven't seen before. A great example is the eggplant appetizer. Their lasagna looks like rose! Our server, Sergio, was magnificent as he was very attentive and explained every course nicely. I highly recommend this place. I was pleasantly surprised by the elegance of the dishes they served us

We ordered two pizzas. To call them pizzas though would be an injustice. Italians everywhere would be rolling in their graves had they witnessed what was served. The cheese wasn’t really cheese - it was more of a white liquid akin to kebab sauce but with the consistency of queso. Not to mention the olive oil had to be sent back. TWICE. Olive oil is hard to mess up. But they found a way. It was more of a white wine vinegar. the waiter concurred with this diagnosis but said that’s the only Olive oil they have. The ambiance is lovely to be fair. And from a distance the sushi looked good. But the pizza needs some work.

It is a very nice restaurant, the food is very instagramable ... But the is no attention to details. I had some dish with oarmesan ice-cream - even when I stabbed the icecream several times, I couldn't break it. Worst was the shrimp salad. The shrimp were a weird body temperature. I felt like eating human ear or finger. The soup was very nice. Plus they have love music with program, which I am not a fan of, but someone might like it.

To start off, I want to pray for anyone who may have written a post before me 3 days ago and gave this place a bad rating. They must be going through some serious mental confusion or loss of taste buds because in no way, shape or form is their review close to the truth. The friendly service, free sampling’s of different items, appetizers and entrees were spectacular. I would give this place 6 stars out of 5 if I could. I have been to high scale restaurants and for the price you pay, the combination and levels of flavor would compare to fine dining in any city and surpass it. If you come to Puerto Iguazu, you must eat at De la Fonte restaurant located inside the Boutique Hotel De La Fonte.

Right, let’s tear this place apart! Pros. Staff: Lovely Food: Delicious Ambiance: Gentle Cons. Thought one of the paintings was a bit ‘A’ level. Cutlery designed by an over enthusiastic drunk Italian (what else!) Verdict. They really care about what they do. X

Great atmosphere and food. Not typically Argentinean dishes, has a twist to it. The service was great.
