Walk to the ticket booths. There are automatic kiosks, and also staffed windows.

Parking costs R$55 for all vehicles, including motos. You have to pay that before you leave at a separate kiosk.
When you buy your ticket, you choose an entry time. At the appropriate time, you'll get in line to board a bus for a 20-minute ride to the falls.
There is a trail which offers numerous views of the falls. At several spots drinks and snacks are available.
At the end of the trail, there is a restaurant, bathrooms, gift shop. From here you take a bus to return to the parking area. Don't forget to pay for your parking before you leave.

Latest Check-Ins
I would recommend booking a ticket online in advance: we got one for the first entry of the day (at 9.10) and were able to walk past the long line for the ticket machines.
Report Check-InBusy place today, a Tuesday. I arrived at around 9:30am, the first available entry was at 11:30am. The trail around the falls was packed.
I guess it's busy season. No way to avoid the crowds.
Report Check-InVery different from the Argentinian side. There's really only 1 walkway at stop 2 on the bus but you get a great panoramic view of the falls. We also saw a toucan in the trees as we passed by in the bus. Try to avoid weekends, we went on a Thursday and it was not crowded. Pricing unchanged from previous entry.
Report Check-InEntrance fee is BRL 83,00 plus (if you want and do not deactivate it) BRL 3,00 for a fund.
Parking for all vehicles is BRL 50,00 - but if you stay at the Iguassu Eco Hostel Camping you can walk.
There are self service ticket machines where you can pay with card.
We did not do it, but the boot tour was offered for US$ 75 (on the argentinian side Arg$ 22.000).
really nice experience. the Brazilian side is the only side you will get rainbows. best to come early right when the sun comes over the rim for some stunning views. if it's sunny and nice, this is the better side. the Brazilians are much more polite and less pushy, plus it's 8usd cheaper than the Argentina side.
Report Check-Inentrance now R107 pp and parking R37.5. We parked at Eco hostel and stayed they night there.
Report Check-InR$106 foreigners entrance fee now. you can buy online in busy season or at the kiosks. they do check id if you purchase Brazilian tickets.
Report Check-InWe enjoyed the Argentina side much more. If you only chose one, go to Argentina...so much more to see and experience. Especially given the prices...
Report Check-InNote: You cannot buy a ticket here the day before for a discount. Total waste of our time driving here the day before. Maybe there is somewhere else you can purchase tickets at a discount??
Report Check-Inimprortant note: if you buy your ticket a day before you want to visit you get a 50 percent discount.
Report Check-InEntrance fee R. 67 and boat trip R. 215. We park in the bird garden parking R. 20
Report Check-InBoth sides of the falls are interesting. But if you could chose, I would prefer the Argentina side.
Report Check-InEntrance:
R$64.30 Foreigners
R$51.30 Mercosur
Parking R$22
Card payment available, also there are self service ticket machines. Definitely worth getting there early before the crowds and the heat
Report Check-Inentrance is 57.30pp parking is 21 or if you have a big rig u can park with the busses for free. we parked in a private lot near the bird park for 15, 25 for busses. the boat to the falls is almost 200 on this side, from what I remember it is much cheaper on the Argentinien side.
