Vine desde Japón, al otro lado del mundo. … Cuando llegué, estaba nerviosa y no sabía qué esperar. En el aeropuerto, conocí a un taxista llamado Lucas, quien fue increíblemente amable.

Pay at the end: cash, card, bank transfer, Pix or USDT

The quick answer

In Puerto Iguazú you pay in Argentine pesos, but many tourist businesses also accept US dollars and Brazilian reais. With a foreign card, always choose to pay in pesos. In Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) the real and Pix are used, and in Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) the guaraní, though almost everything is priced in dollars.

Cards

  • Foreign cards: accepted at hotels, restaurants and most shops downtown. If the card machine asks which currency to charge, choose pesos: if you pick your home currency, the shop does the conversion and it's usually worse.
  • Your bank's fee: many banks charge a percentage on foreign purchases. Check before you travel.
  • ATMs: withdrawing pesos is convenient but fees are high and the limit per withdrawal is low.

Cash

  • Dollars and reais: accepted in many tourist places, but change usually comes in pesos. Bring notes in good condition.
  • Pesos: keep some cash for the bus, taxis, tips and small shops.
  • When crossing: in Brazil, have reais or a card; in Ciudad del Este, US dollars in cash.

Tipping

  • Restaurants: around 10% is customary if the service was good.
  • Drivers and guides: not expected. If you'd like to leave something, pesos, reais or dollars are all welcome.

How to pay us

Always at the end of the trip, no deposit: cash in pesos, reais or US dollars, card, bank transfer, Pix or USDT.
