March 15th, 2024 by illbijou13

One week the bootstour was not possible. Today we did it. The falls were only 1 m or less and the trip was very short. We had the inflatable boot for us allone. It was very hot, but you can not go into the water.
The entry of the park is now 3800 pP and the boot costs 12500 Pesos.

On Sunday morning we received an answer to our email from the previous day. They told us that the hight of the falls were today 3,5 meters. And they expected a few hot and stable days.
eMail: [email protected]

We then arrived in the afternoon and stayed at the Mirador as we thought the water was lower the next day because of this email and earlier iOverlander posts.

On Monday morning we wanted to take the boat tour. The park was open, but the boat tours could not start before 1 pm because the height of the falls was too low beforehand. We then took a boottour at 2 pm and the waterfalls were approx. 2 m high in the initial area and upstream only about 50 cm. But we still liked it.

Entry fee for the park is Arg$ 1.300,00/person - we got 50% discout because of no bootactivities when we arrived.
Price for the boottour was Arg$ 7.200,00/person.

They are quick to adjust their prices to inflation.. 1300 (2$) entrance and 7300 (13$) for the boatride (price for extranjeros). You really have to take the boat, otherwise there is not much to see. Boatride is short but fun!

lugar lindo tem três trilhas muito legais entre floresta nativa com árvores centenárias e fauna maravilhosa, vimos um veado campestre, lagartos, roedores e cobras tanto pela estrada quanto pela trilha. recomendo o passeio de lancha que é excelente e emocionante.

Wonderful and very particular waterfall! Nice to see... yes it cost 1700p (now it mean10€) and the boat tour is just 20min but it's worst it if you choose a quiet périod (not a sunday during holiday. We had the boat for ourself and could enjoy a lot!
the park is nice too with 2 easy senderos.

Whoever says it's not worth it didn't do it... $14? Come all this way from home and won't pay $14 for a boat ride alongside a waterfall bridging two countries? Sorry if this sounds preachy, I'm not a rich traveller, my budget is $28 per day all in. But that doesn't mean that I'll miss out on stuff like this to eat plain rice in a free camp for an extra few days. Rant over. Well worth it, there's info if you want to read it, if not the boat trip is jump on and go. Still 900 for foreigners. Wasn't charged entry at 3pm Sunday.

Another, much cheaper option: visit the falls from the Brasilian side. From Derrubadas you enter the NP Parque Estadual Turvo (entrance: 20BR$). A dirt track (good for normal cars if dry) brings you to the Yucuma Falls, as they are called in Brasil. You have a direct view to the fall, 1800m long, 5-10m high (depending on water supply from power stations and rain). From ARG only by boat.
In Derrubadas are 2 balnearios, we preferred the Balneario Martens, very friendly. You can fish your dinner in the ponds, huge Tilapias.

We ended up not coming here. Just a note that it’s two hours one way from Rt14, San Vicente, and two hours back. Prices for foreigners are climbing monthly, so just wasn’t worth it, especially with expense of Iguazú.

Keep it in mind if decision to be made. Definitely check info center in San Vicente to call the park about conditions.

There is a good road from El Soberbio, 65km. At the entrance to the Provincial Park Moconá you pay 250 Pesos per Person (25 Pesos for retired persons). The boat trip, lasting 20 minutes, is now 300 pesos for Argentiniens, 600 for Southamericans, 900 for all others. Because of the high price we did not take the boat trip.

Last entry is right on. Only thing we'd add as that if you arrive after 3pm you don't need to pay entry fee! Last launcha to falls is at 4:45. We loved it.

Entry fee for the park is now 250pp and additionally 700pp for the boat trip and the only take cash (also USD for a bad exchange rate; no ATM). The falls are great and the zodiac trip is fun (only 20min.). They tell you, that you won‘t get wet. Yes, you do, not badly, but for those with sensitive gear (fotoequipment etc.) maybe important, you will get wet from spray.

Still 700 pesos for foreign people, but really worth it...
The best day for visiting is Monday morning, cause there is a dam up in the river (managed by Brazil) and they close it on Friday, so the water level goes down till Monday at midday.

Really nice place. We did the boat tour (700 pesos pp) on a Thursday, it was well worth it. At the park they told us the best days to see the falls are Sundays and Mondays, because the damm in Brazil is closed over the weekend, and there is then less water in the river. You also have a couple of easy walks through the forest. No possibility to stay overnight.

Prices have gone up since January, they are now 700 for the boat, no entrance fee for the parque.

The falls have a lot of water right now and boat trips are suspended. A few days ago the entire park was closed because one could not even pass across this little bridge a couple of kilometers before the entrance/information center. Rangers advised to check before coming and provided us a phone number (3775-495206) and a website http://www.saltosdelmocona.tur.ar.

Today the falls are no falls as the water only drops 10 cm instead of the 10 m it usually does, all because of the massive amount of water.

Boatride 400ap pP (foreigner price) ride is very short. Take the left seats! The earlier in the morning the better the light for pictures...

We paid now 400 pesos each. The boattrip only takes 20 minutes, so we think it's a bit expensive. But it's still worth of it, the falls are pretty cool!

Great trip. we really enjoyed the boat ride. It's not a slow gentle meander down a flat river, but an exciting speedy blast up the rapids and pushing right into the falls. the critical aspect is the height of the river. the falls are 3km long (lengthways down the river facing to Brazil) but only around 10m high. If the river is full, the falls get submerged. we were lucky to see them at 7m and the view blasting down the rapids past them is very special. Worth paying the $250. You can also walk through the forest to a mirador above the falls which is nice, but not a great view from the mirador. You have to be in the boat to see them from Argentina.

At the entrance of the park you pay 30 arg per person. If you want to see the saltos you have to take a zodiac bote and pay 250 arg per person (price for foreigners). They only make the ride if the river is low enough to see the falls.
