My husband and I will be flying into the Brazilian airport at Iguazu in the evening, but our hotel is on the Argentine side. How far is this? Should we take a taxi, bus...? Will it be an issue later in the evening (flight lands around 7 pm)? Also, will we have any trouble crossing back into the Brazilian side a day or two later?
Thanks!

Where is your hotel? If it is the Sheraton at the falls then this is a lot closer. We did the trip from Iguazu town to Foz town by bus in I guess one hour. I don't think the airport is too far from the town. Buses are very frequent and eficient although you do have to change and given your ETA a taxi would certainly be better.
Check out the visa requirements as I know that US citizens pay a hefty visa fee for Brazil but not sure about Argentina. We crossed the border a couple of times and for day visits the immigration process seemed to be entirely optional and many visiting for the day(including us on one occasion),on the advice of the bus driver did not bother getting stamped in and out. As UK citizens we do not have to pay a visa fee but for US citizens this could be more of a problem, plus you are spending at least one night in Argentina
Brazil requires a visa for US citizens, but Argentina does not, at least as of this writing.
For a day trip from the Argentine side of Iguazú to the Brazilian side, the visa requirement for US citizens is often overlooked, but this could change from day to day, or even in the course of the day, as it mostly depends on the mood of the border guards.
If you are flying into the Brazilian side, surely you will have the visa part worked out.
I would really recommend you spend some time on the Brazilian side of the falls. They are amazing, in a different way than the Argentinian side. I would have loved to have spent more time there, but luckily had a few hours in Brazil.
