About Puerto Iguazú
Puerto Iguazú is a tourist town in the northeast of Argentina at the Triborder with Paraguay and Brazil. It mainly serves the needs of the tourists visiting the Iguaçu Falls close-by. In stark contrast to the bland small city of Foz do Iguaço on the Brazilian side of the border, Argentina's Puerto Iguazú has a strong "small tourist town in the jungle" vibe, similar to Monteverde or perhaps Palenque.
