Questions
Can I drive into the Brazilian park?
No. You park at the visitor centre and the park's buses, included in the ticket, take you to the trail and back.
Is there a bus to the Argentine park?
Yes: from the Puerto Iguazú bus terminal, run by Río Uruguay, every twenty minutes.
Do I need my passport to cross?
Carry it: the bridge is an international border, and both park gates check the photo ID your ticket was issued to.
