The Iguazu Falls are one of the great wonders of the world, located on the border between Argentina and Brazil.

Although the price is not cheap, since they are five-star accommodations, if you can afford it, it is highly recommended since the view of the falls from the hotel and listening to the water flow is priceless.

The Gran Melia Iguazu is the hotel located on the Argentine side and constitutes a large complex in itself, with impressive views of the falls. It has 3 restaurants and 4 bars inside, a spa area and a large swimming pool surrounded by a green garden. In many of the rooms the balconies have a stunning view of the falls, where you can hear the force of the water. A dream come true!

On the Brazilian side, the Hotel das Cataratas is the one located next to the waterfalls. Decorated with mosaics and period furniture in the Portuguese style, it has 2 restaurants, a bar and a swimming pool.
