Field notes

Getting There

20-minute drive from Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport (IGR) in Argentina directly to the national park gates.

The resort is located inside the national park. Hotel shuttles meet guests at the airport. Private taxis can enter the park to drop off guests directly at the lobby.

The Playbook

Pre-Book Gran Aventura Boat Tour

The Gran Aventura boat tour departs from the trails near the hotel, driving directly into the spray of the Three Musketeers falls. Pre-book your slot with the concierge for 8:30 AM to ride the first boat of the day.

Good to Know

Trail Crowds & Standard Room Views

Standard rooms face the garden/jungle rather than the waterfalls. You must explicitly book a 'Falls View' room to see the cascades. Thousands of day visitors walk the paths directly below the resort balcony.
