Brazil side of IGUAZU Falls -

We will be staying for 2 nights on the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls. Is it worth going over to the Brazillian side of the Falls? If so what is the best way to do that?

The Brazilian side of the falls has great panoramic views while you get up close and personal on the Argentine side. I stayed on the Brazilian side and hired a taxi for the day for about $35 (you need to negotiate the price) to take me to the Argentine side and back with a stop at Tres Fronteras (The three borders).

Yes it is most definitely worth while going over to the Brazilian side. We stayed in Argentina and hired a taxi for ARG$130 for the day.

I agree with all, take a taxi, even without a visa they have a way to take you there. Have lunch in the
Hotel das Cataratas, and old, elegant , colonial hotel with good food.
On Saturdays they have feoyada, tipical Brazil dish, which is great, and some live Brazilian music too.

Thanks for the responses -- sounds like a trip to the Brazilian side of the Falls is well worth it. We have not gotten VISAs and are leaving in a couple days. It was mentionted that it is possible to cross into Brazil without a VISA. How would we do this?

Taxi drivers and tour companies know the in and outs of doing it without a Visa. There is a passport check point between the two countries, therefore, who ever is taking you into Brazil needs to bring you back since your entrance and exit from Brazil has to be official. Unless you are planning to visit other parts of Brazil, a Visa will not be necessary.
