# Can I fly to Iguazú Falls from BA for a short trip?

[Home](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com) | [Docs](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com/docs/) | [Day Trips](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com/docs-category/day-trips/)

flying from Buenos Aires to **Iguazú Falls (Puerto Iguazú, IGR)** is one of the most popular short trips in Argentina. Here’s what you need to know:

## 🛫 Flying from Buenos Aires to Iguazú Falls

### 1. Airports & Flight Time

- Flights leave from both **Aeroparque (AEP, in the city)** and **Ezeiza (EZE, international airport)**.
- **Flight duration:** about **1 hour 45 minutes** nonstop.
- Airlines: **Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSmart, [Flybondi](https://flybondi.com/)**.

### 2. Frequency & Cost

- Multiple daily flights.
- Prices vary, but often **$80–150 USD round-trip** if booked in advance (higher during holidays).
- Budget airlines (JetSmart, Flybondi) fly from El Palomar (EPA) or Ezeiza, with cheaper fares but stricter luggage rules.

### 3. How Much Time Do You Need?

- **1 full day (day trip):**

  - Possible, but tight. You’d need an early morning flight in, late evening flight out.
  - Allows you to see the **Argentine side** of the falls (the main one, with trails + Devil’s Throat).
- **2–3 days (ideal):**

  - See both **Argentine side** (full day) and **Brazilian side** (half day, for panoramic views).
  - Time for boat rides, jungle hikes, or bird park.

### 4. Getting from the Airport to the Falls

- **Puerto Iguazú Airport (IGR)** → about **20 km (25–30 min)** from the park entrance.
- Transport: taxis, shuttles, or pre-arranged transfers.

### 5. Border Crossing (if visiting Brazil side)

- Bring your **passport**.
- Check **visa requirements** if your nationality needs one for Brazil.
- Usually smooth, but allow extra time.

## ✅ Quick Takeaway

- **Yes, absolutely!** [Buenos Aires → Iguazú](https://allaboutbuenosaires.com/item/4-day-classic-buenos-aires-vacation-package/) is a classic short trip.
- **1 day** = just Argentine side.
- **2–3 days** = both sides + extra activities.
- Easy flight connection, multiple airlines, affordable if booked ahead.
