It opened in 1994 on about 16 hectares of forest, right next to the entrance of Iguaçu National Park. You walk along a trail that passes through large themed enclosures: one for toucans, another for macaws, one for butterflies and hummingbirds and another for river and mangrove birds, among others. It pairs well with the Brazilian side of the Falls because it sits on the same road: the park itself suggests arriving early, having lunch there and then moving on to the national park. It also operates in the rain, so it makes a good backup plan when the weather turns. From Puerto Iguazú you need to cross into Brazil over the Tancredo Neves bridge; Foz bus line 120, the same one that goes to the Falls, stops at the gate. There are places to eat and a souvenir shop. ## Local tip If you're doing the birds and the Falls on the same day, start at Parque das Aves at opening time and go to the Falls afterwards: the two entrances are a few metres apart. ## Practical guide **Before you go:** - Published prices are valid until 30/11/2026 and may change from December. - Argentines cross with their valid DNI card: the Mi Argentina digital DNI is not accepted at the border. **What to do:** - Walk through the toucan and macaw enclosures - See butterflies and hummingbirds in their own space - Visit the river and mangrove birds section - Have lunch there and continue to the Falls the same day - **How long:** 1 to 2 hours at an easy pace; ideal to combine with the Brazilian side of the Falls. - **Who it suits:** For families with children, bird and photography lovers, and as a rainy-day plan on the Brazilian side. - **Best time:** Open all year, rain or shine.
