Hi Kenneth, the distance between the two sides of the falls by road is approximately 10-15 kilometers (6-9 miles), depending on the specific route taken. Im not sure if Uber is available but you can check the Uber app for the most up-to-date information regarding service availability. Hope this helps and enjoy!

How much distance is there between the two sides ARG and BRA? is Uber available?

Thanks for the reply Jonny.

One more question. Is it easy to get an Uber at IGR airport? or do you recommend Taxi instead.

Hey Jerry, you’re most welcome, glad you found this Iquazu Falls travel guide useful. Yes, absolutely, I recommend a guided tour and I am pretty sure you should be able to purchase the jet boat on the ‘day of’ or a couple of days before to be safe. There are many boat trips and spaces available so you won’t miss out. Have a great trip!

Thank you for sharing your Iguazu experience and all the tips you provided. I’ve also read a lot of Q&As so won’t ask you the same questions. I plan to do 1 day each on Argentine & Brazilian side of the falls in December. I’m also a DIY travel guy, but have also read your Viator recommendations and understand the value of a guide.

My questions is … If I purchase ticket online, can I decide the “day of” to purchase tickets to ride the jet boat to the falls? Online tix for December are not yet available.

Thank you so much in advance for your response.

Hi Blanca! Thanks for reaching out. The best way to get to the Iguazu Falls from Buenos Aires is by plane.

There are several airlines that offer daily flights from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu, the closest city to the falls. The flight takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the airline and the route.

As for the order of your itinerary, it really depends on your personal preferences and travel plans. Both destinations are incredible and offer unique experiences. However, I would recommend visiting Iguazu Falls first and then heading to Glaciares. The reason being is that Iguazu Falls are located in the northern part of Argentina, while Glaciares is located in the southern region. This way, you can avoid unnecessary backtracking and save time and money on transportation.

I hope this helps, and I wish you a safe and enjoyable trip to Argentina!

Hi Kristen! Thanks for reaching out and visiting my blog. It’s great to hear that you and your family are planning a trip to Iguazu Falls.

Crossing from the Argentina side to the Brazil side is fairly straightforward, but it’s important to note that you’ll need to bring your passports as you’ll be crossing the border.

Hiring a taxi or booking a tour is definitely an option if you want a hassle-free experience. I would recommend checking with your hotel in Puerto Iguazu Argentinian side if they offer any transportation services or if they can recommend a reliable tour operator.
