Iguazú Falls & Missions is one of those places where the obvious plan and the good plan are two different trips.

We mapped a 3-day Iguazú Falls & Missions route ourselves, built for a long weekend, not a rushed one, built to avoid the main falls viewing platform crowd from day one.

Once you've seen Iguazú Falls & Missions done differently, going back to the standard route feels like a waste of a trip. It's free. The only cost is planning your Iguazú Falls & Missions trip without it.
