Saltos Monday

Monday Falls tend to get lost in the shadows of nearby Iguazu Falls, however these beautiful cascades deserve a visit in their own right. Saltos Monday hasn’t made its mark on the international tourist trail yet, so you may be one of a few visitors exploring the falls and trails through the 22-acre subtropical park.

We will then cross into Brazil via the Friendship Bridge.
