About Jardín de los Picaflores
This is the garden of a family home in a quiet part of Puerto Iguazú, built up over the years with flowers, native plants and feeders to attract birds. The hummingbirds are wild and come and go freely: according to the municipal tourism board you can see up to 15 species in a single visit, plus tanagers, cardinals and bananaquits. The owners also look after small injured birds and release them once they recover, sometimes together with the Güirá Oga wildlife center.
The visit is short and calm: there are shaded benches and signs to help you identify species, and you can stay as long as you like while the owners answer questions. It works well after a day at the falls, for bird photographers, or for kids who can stay quiet for a while. Admission is paid in cash and goes toward bird food and garden upkeep, as this is a self-funded family project.
Local tip
Bring a camera with a good zoom and some patience: stay still for a few minutes near the feeders and the hummingbirds will come to you.
