Puerto Iguazu Bus Terminal and information for first time visitors.
The Puerto Iguazu Bus Terminal is located in the center of the city. It is an important bus station, 20 minutes from the Iguazu Falls and 8 minutes from the Tancredo Neves International Bridge. This bridge links Argentina with Brazil. Strategically speaking, this bus terminal is very important.
Navigating the Puerto Iguazu Bus Terminal.
Many tourists find the Puerto Iguazu Bus Terminal confusing. The bus terminal itself is not confusing. The lack of clearly displayed information, makes it difficult to navigate. It offers a wide variety of services for tourists including:
- Information Center (which we did not see);
- Ticket Sales;
- Tour Packages;
- Taxi Services;
- Restaurants;
- Airport Transfers;
- Commercial premises;
- Transport to and from the Iguazu Falls.
Several bus companies at Provincial and International level.
I mentioned before that this bus terminal is strategically important. Many bus companies offer services on both Provincial and International level. Thousands of tourists are moved on a daily basis to different parts of Argentina as well as the Iguazu Falls. Don’t forget about the tourists that are transported to Paraguay and Brazil.
Important information for travellers and first time visitors.
There are no ATM’s on the premises of the bus terminal. They also do not accept credit or debit cards – cash only. This is not only applicable to foreigners but apply to Argentines as well.
There is no WiFi in the bus terminal. This could be problematic if you need to connect to the Internet quickly.
Watch out for the taxi services at the bus terminal. The taxi drivers like to make longer trips, for example to transfer passengers to the Iguazu Falls or to shopping centers in Paraguay. They charge a fortune for short trips when leaving the bus terminal. It is better to use the service of Rio Uruguay when leaving the bus terminal.
The bus terminal is very hot in summer. There is no air conditioning.
