Iguazu Falls Maps
Find Maps Iguazu Water Falls Argentina
There are a number of sources to find Iguazu Falls maps. For viewing online maps, the best sources I have found are the Google ones: Google Earth and Google Maps. (
've posted an Iguazu screenshot and the online maps links below. For non online maps, check your guidebook for an overview.
Guidebook maps are usually small, hard to read, and printed in grayscale, not in color. I used the Lonely Planet Argentina travel guide, but once I arrived in Puerto Iguazu, I found the National Park offered brochures with schematic Iguazu Falls maps (detail, photo, left) at my hotel as well as at the park office.
Have a look at these online maps listed here to get oriented with this wonderful Argentina attraction. An amazing series of waterfalls where Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina meet in South America, Iguazu Falls is one of the world's top natural scenic wonders.
Iguazu Falls Maps as viewed from Google Earth gives Bird's Eye View
I think Google Earth is one of the best Iguazu Falls maps, as it shows how the borders for the three countries meet near Iguazu Falls, shown here at the bend (bottom, blue) of the Iguazu River.
When you are 'live' on Google Earth, you can zoom in close enough to see the white water cascading over the falls itself.
Google Earth basic downloads - see Google Earth download - are available for PC, Macintosh or Linux through the above link.
As well, there are details of what your system needs to support it.

This is one of the tourist maps I picked up at Iguazu National Park. Devil's Throat Falls is the large waterfalls at the end of the red line (top).
Walking trails -- named Upper Circuit Trail and Lower Circuit Trail in Argentina -- are shown in orange and yellow. The grey and blue map to the upper left across the river are the walking trails on the Brazil side.
In this view, Brazil is to the left across the Iguazu River.

If you don't have Google Earth, then try this link to Google Maps of Iguazu Falls. Be sure to zoom out to about halfway on the zoom slider tool, in terrain view. You can even see boats on the river! Highway RN 12 runs between Puerto Iguazu, Argentina, through Iguazu National Park (Parque Nacional Iguazu) to the Iguazu International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional de Iguazu; airport code IGR - Cataratas Argentina).
