How many days do you need in Iguazu Falls Brazil?
If you only plan to see Iguazu falls from one side I would recommend allocating at least two days. I do suggest, if it’s possible, visiting both countries to see both sides. Each side offers a very different perspective. If you plan on seeing both sides, stay for 3-4 days.
