On October 21, 2026, AllClear Travel Insurance’s study ranked the Argentinian side of Iguaçu Falls, in Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, as the fourth easiest to visit. The recorded difficulty index was 25.6 points on a scale of 0 to 100.
An international ranking evaluated 129 natural attractions based on distance to the nearest airport, trail length and elevation change, as well as climatic variables. The Argentinian side of Iguaçu Falls scored 25.6 points, just half a point behind the third-place spot.
The indicators used for the calculation were: 10.9 km from the nearest airport, a 2.4 km walking trail, a cumulative elevation change of 47 m and a maximum elevation of 194 m above sea level. The average climatic conditions considered included an annual temperature of 23 °C, humidity of 70%, wind of 11 mph and an average monthly precipitation of 155.2 mm.
The study highlighted the Upper Circuit, which consists of elevated metal walkways offering panoramic views and rest areas along the walk. The ranking was compiled by AllClear Travel Insurance, with weights assigned to each variable – trail distance (25%), cumulative elevation change (20%), distance to airport (15%), slope and maximum height (10% each) and average annual temperature (8%), plus a 4% weight for humidity, wind and precipitation.
