La Selva

Iguazú Falls


During your visit, this restaurant, close to the Parque Nacional Iguazú's main entrance, will get talked up so much you’ll fear the worst, but it’s actually OK, with a buffet of hot and cold dishes that includes parrillada. It’s pricey but information kiosks give out vouchers offering a substantial discount depending on how busy they are, so head there first.
