💡 Local Tip
If you are flying out in the afternoon, eat before you go through security; the airside café is tiny and can run out of popular items when several flights leave close together.
🚖 Getting There
Pre-book a remis or taxi from the arrivals hall; fixed-rate transfers to Puerto Iguazú are common and easier than relying on ride-hailing apps. If you rent a car, the airport is just off Ruta Nacional 12, with clear signs to Puerto Iguazú and Iguazú National Park. Allow extra time in peak season because the small terminal can get crowded when multiple flights arrive or depart.
