Two countries, two currencies. The Brazilian park sets its price in reais and sells only online by card. The Argentine park sets its price in pesos, sells online through the national parks system and also at the gate, where it takes credit cards, debit cards and cash in pesos. Parking, lockers, food and optional activities are paid in each park's own currency. Every USD figure on this site is an indicative conversion at the rate and date shown next to it; the parks never charge in dollars.
In short
- Brazil prices in reais (R$); Argentina in pesos (AR$). Nothing is priced in dollars
- Brazil: online only, by card. Argentina: online, or card and cash at the gate
- Carry some cash in each currency for parking, lockers and snacks
- Our USD figures are indicative: check the rate and date printed next to every amount
What each park charges, in which currency
The official entry prices are published by each park in its own currency, and that is the amount your card is charged. The table shows them next to an indicative dollar conversion. The Argentine figure in dollars moves more from month to month than the Brazilian one because the peso does; we refresh the rate daily and print its date.

Paying in Brazil
- Entry: online only, on the concessionaire's site, by card. If your card is refused, the park's advice is to check with your bank
- Inside the park: restaurants, shops, bike rental and paid experiences such as the sunrise entry are priced in reais
- The Brazil/Mercosur category, ten percent below the integral price, is for Brazilian, Argentine, Paraguayan, Uruguayan and Venezuelan nationals; the Community Pass is for residents of the neighbouring municipalities
- The official price includes a small contribution to the Fundo Iguaçu conservation fund
Paying in Argentina
- Entry: online through the national parks system, or at the gate ticket office in pesos, by credit card, debit card or cash
- The international visitor tariff is the one for foreign passports; residents of Argentina and of Misiones, students and exempt categories pay less or nothing and show documents at the gate
- Parking is paid at the access gate, per vehicle and per day; lockers are rented at the entrance. Both are priced in pesos on the park's tariff page
- The train is included in the entry; you collect a free pass at the ticket office in the service courtyard or at Cataratas Station
- Show the first-day ticket at the ticket office and the second consecutive day costs half
Cash, cards and the border
Carry a little cash in each currency, enough for parking, a locker and something to eat, and pay the rest by card. If you stay on one side and visit the other for a day, remember that the taxi or bus across the border, the parking and the snacks on the far side are in the other currency. Airport and hotel exchange desks exist on both sides; rates vary, so compare before changing a large amount.
What our USD prices mean
When our booking opens, our prices will be in US dollars and will always appear next to the official price of the same entry in its own currency, with the exchange rate and date we used. The difference between the two is our service, stated as a number, not hidden in a rounded figure. If a park changes its price, the official column on this site changes with it.

Can I pay the Argentine entry in dollars at the gate?
The park lists credit cards, debit cards and cash in Argentine pesos as its payment methods. Plan on pesos or a card.
Why does the Argentine price in dollars change?
Because the park sets it in pesos and the peso moves against the dollar. The peso figure is the real one; the dollar figure is our conversion on the date shown.
Is the Fundo Iguaçu contribution optional?
The Brazilian park describes it as a voluntary contribution included in the published price. In practice it is part of the amount you see at checkout.
