Where to stay in Puerto Iguazú, Argentina
Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie GrellmannUpdated on
Downtown to walk and eat, or the park road (Ruta 12) for jungle resorts
Downtown Puerto Iguazú has the hotels, restaurants and nightlife on foot. Ruta 12, on the way to the park, has resorts and lodges surrounded by rainforest.

Direct answer: In Puerto Iguazú, downtown is the best base to walk to restaurants, exchange and the bus terminal. Ruta 12 (the road to Iguazú National Park) has resorts and jungle lodges, quieter and close to the park entrance.
Downtown
Compact and walkable. Near the Hito Tres Fronteras, the restaurants of Avenida Victoria Aguirre and the terminal with buses to the Falls. Good without a car.
Ruta 12 (toward the park)
Resorts, lodges and larger hotels, many with a pool and rainforest views. Quieter and close to the Iguazú National Park entrance; usually needs a car or transfer.
