Logistics

The fastest and most convenient way to get to Iguazú is by flying; daily flights connect Buenos Aires and other major cities to Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport, about 20 minutes from Puerto Iguazú town. For digital nomads on a budget, long-distance buses offer a more affordable option, though the trip from Buenos Aires takes around 18 hours.

There are no direct trains or boats to Iguazú, so overland travel is limited to buses or car rental. November weather is usually warm and humid, with occasional rain—pack accordingly and allow buffer time for possible delays. Shared shuttles and taxis are readily available for airport-town transfers. Good Wi-Fi and coworking spots make Puerto Iguazú a comfortable base for remote work.

Weather

Iguazú, in Argentina's Misiones Province, has a humid subtropical climate, making it warm and moist year-round. Summers (December to February) are hot and rainy; winters (June to August) are mild, with cooler nights but still plenty of sunshine. Rain showers are common throughout the year, contributing to the lush rainforest.

From November 5 to November 8, expect warm temperatures averaging 25–30°C (77–86°F) and the possibility of brief, heavy rain showers or thunderstorms—typical for late spring. Extreme weather is rare, but pack rain gear for outdoor adventures and sightseeing. Evenings are pleasant for exploring local gastronomy, nightlife, or attending cultural events and festivals.

Food & Drink

In Iguazú, you’ll find local flavors like river fish (especially surubí and pacú), empanadas, and yerba mate drinks. For a budget-friendly meal, visit places like Aqva Restaurant, La Rueda, or El Quincho del Tío Querido for regional cuisine. Cafés such as De la Fonte and Jardin de los Picaflores offer great coffee and relaxed atmospheres for digital nomads.

Vegetarian options are increasingly available, but always check menus or ask staff, as traditional dishes are meat-focused. Tipping around 10% is customary, though not mandatory. Iguazú’s dining scene adapts well to international visitors, but lunch hours are often later than in other countries. Tap water is generally safe, but bottled water is recommended.

Accommodation

For digital nomads visiting Iguazú, your best hotel options are in Puerto Iguazú, the main town close to the falls. Mid-range favorites like Hotel Saint George, Ágora Apart Hotel, and Mercure Iguazú Hotel Iru offer good Wi-Fi, comfortable rooms, pools, and coworking-friendly spaces—browse and book these easily through Hotels.com for the best choices.

Neighborhoods near Avenida Córdoba provide convenient access to cafes, markets, and transport, making it ideal for short stays. Some hotels fill up quickly during November’s spring high season, so it’s best to book accommodation in advance. Resorts and hostels are available, but hotels offer a better work-life balance for digital nomads.
