About Iguazu Falls (Brazilian Side)
The Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls, accessed from the gateway city of Foz do Iguacu, offers a sweeping, panoramic perspective of the vast waterfall system, complementing the more immersive, up-close walkways found on the Argentine side across the border. While the majority of the individual falls lie within Argentine territory, the Brazilian viewpoint provides the best wide-angle views of the entire cascade, including a distant but striking vista of the thunderous Devil's Throat.
A relatively short, well-maintained walkway on the Brazilian side leads visitors along the canyon's edge, culminating in a platform extending out over the river directly in front of several of the falls, offering a dramatic close encounter with the cascading water and its ever-present mist. Many visitors choose to see the falls from both sides over separate days, considering the Brazilian perspective an excellent complement to the Argentine side's more extensive network of trails.
Why Visit Iguazu Falls (Brazilian Side)?
