At Iguazú the hotel is not a detail: it decides how close you sleep to the falls and at what hour you can be standing in front of them.
Inside the national park
The only one of the three that stands inside the Iguazú Falls National Park, on the Argentine side. You are already within the park when the walkways open, and you are still there when the day visitors have gone.

In the Iryapú jungle
Built through the subtropical jungle of Iryapú with the native trees left standing, fifteen minutes from the falls. The quietest of the three, and the one where you hear the forest at night.

Above the meeting of two rivers
A few steps from the Three Borders Landmark, looking out over the point where the Iguazú and the Paraná meet and Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay face one another. Fifteen kilometres from the falls.
See this journeyNot a seat on a coach. The day starts when you decide it starts, and it slows down wherever you want to stay longer.
The Upper and Lower circuits and the Devil’s Throat, walked at your own pace rather than at a group’s.
Someone is waiting with your name at the airport, and the same driver takes you back when you leave.
The travel designer who answers you is the one who plans the trip and the one you call while you are there.
This is the shape most travellers choose. Yours is decided with you.
You are met at Cataratas del Iguazú airport and taken to the hotel. The afternoon is yours: the jungle, the pool, or nothing at all.
The Argentine side with a private guide: the Upper Circuit, the Lower Circuit and the Devil’s Throat, in the order that suits the light and the crowds that day.
Time for what you did not fit in — or simply a late breakfast — before the transfer back to the airport.
It depends on what you want the hotel to give you. The Meliá Iguazú is the only one inside the national park, so the falls are a walk away rather than a drive. The Loi Suites sits in the Iryapú jungle, fifteen minutes out, and is the quietest of the three. The Amerian Portal del Iguazú looks over the meeting of the Iguazú and the Paraná at the Three Borders Landmark. We will tell you which one we would choose for your dates once we know who is travelling.
For many travellers, yes. Being inside the park means you are already there when the walkways open in the morning and still there in the late afternoon, when the day visitors have left and the light is at its best. It is the single clearest advantage of the Meliá over any hotel in town.
Two or three. Two nights give you one full day at the falls without rushing the arrival or the departure. A third night is for travellers who want the jungle, the river or simply an unhurried morning at the hotel.
Private. Your own guide and your own vehicle at every excursion, so the day runs at your pace. That is the difference between this and a tour bought at a desk.
That is the only way we do it. Every journey on this site is a starting point, not a fixed departure: the hotel, the number of nights and what you do each day are decided with you before anything is booked.
Yes. Iguazú is subtropical and the falls run in every season. The volume of water changes through the year, and so does the heat and the humidity, which is worth taking into account when we choose your dates together.
Most travellers reach Iguazú by a short flight from Buenos Aires, which makes it easy to combine with the city, and from there with Patagonia or the Northwest. We arrange the internal flights and the connections as part of the same journey.
