Iguazu Falls accessibility: wheelchairs, strollers and reduced mobility

Both parks can be visited in a wheelchair, but not in the same way. In Argentina the Upper Circuit, the Devil's Throat walkway and the Green Trail are fully accessible, the Lower Circuit has stairs with an adapted alternative path, the park train takes wheelchairs and strollers, and wheelchairs and a golf cart to the train are free. In Brazil the park buses and the main viewpoints are accessible and wheelchairs are lent free at the visitor centre, but the park does not recommend the Falls Trail itself because of its stairs: get off at the last stop, Porto Canoas, where a panoramic lift takes you down to the walkway in front of the falls.

In short

  • Argentina: Upper Circuit, Devil's Throat and Green Trail fully accessible; Lower Circuit partly, with an adapted path
  • Argentina: the train takes wheelchairs and strollers; free wheelchairs and a free golf cart to the train
  • Brazil: accessible park buses and main viewpoints; free wheelchairs at the visitor centre
  • Brazil: skip the Falls Trail stairs and get off at Porto Canoas, with a lift to the walkway

Argentine side: circuits and the train

  • Upper Circuit: fully accessible in a wheelchair; see the Upper Circuit guide
  • Devil's Throat walkway and the Green Trail to the first station: fully accessible
  • Lower Circuit: stretches of steep stairs and an adapted alternative path; in a wheelchair, take the path on the right at the Plazoleta Dos Hermanas. Details in the Lower Circuit guide
  • Rainforest Ecological Train: suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, included in the entry

Services in the Argentine park

  • Free wheelchairs at the train stations; they are not electric and need a companion to push them. You can also bring your own
  • A free golf cart for people with disabilities or reduced mobility, requested on arrival, takes you to Central Station to board the train
  • Adapted toilets with changing tables at the stations
  • Braille letters and tactile signage; there is currently no sign language interpreter
  • Strollers for children up to two years old can be rented at the entrance

Brazilian side: the buses and Porto Canoas

The Brazilian park describes its transport and main viewpoints as accessible and lends conventional wheelchairs free at the visitor centre. The Falls Trail itself is not recommended for wheelchair users or people who find walking difficult, because of its stairs and its length.

  • Porto Canoas: stay on the park bus to the last stop, where there is a viewpoint and a panoramic lift down to the walkway in front of the falls
  • The stop opposite the hotel gives access to the first viewpoint of the falls; you can look from there, take the bus again and continue to Porto Canoas
  • What you see from each point is in the Falls Trail guide

Plan the visit

  • The Devil's Throat walkways close for safety when the river runs high, on either side; ask about the circuits when you arrive
  • In Argentina the train takes you to the Devil's Throat station; mind the last train, in the opening hours guide
  • Which side suits you better is in Brazil or Argentina side

Each entry is issued in the visitor's name for a day and a time. The table compares the three tickets.

Questions

Is Iguazu Falls wheelchair accessible?

Yes, on both sides, in different ways. In Argentina most circuits and the train are accessible. In Brazil the buses and main viewpoints are, but the Falls Trail is not recommended: get off at Porto Canoas and take the lift to the walkway.

Can I borrow a wheelchair?

Yes, free on both sides: at the train stations in Argentina, where they need a companion to push them, and at the visitor centre in Brazil.

Can I bring a stroller?

In Argentina the train takes strollers and the park rents strollers for children up to two at the entrance. The Brazilian park's accessibility information does not mention strollers; its recommended route for reduced mobility is the park bus to Porto Canoas and the lift.

Is there help for visitors with sensory disabilities?

The Argentine park has braille letters and tactile signage, and deaf or blind visitors can do the walks, although there is currently no sign language interpreter.
