Accessibility to Igassu Falls

How difficult are the trails around Igassu (Igazu) Falls in Brazil/Argentina? I'm 83 and can walk several miles on level ground without stopping, but have trouble going up hill, especially in high altitudes.

Here is some info on the argentine side http://www.iguazuargentina.com/en/accesibilidad/ . All looks pretty straightforward. I am sure there must be something similar for the Brazilian side

And some info about the Brazilian side:

I remember the path being level, but some small steps down and one flight of stairs (elevator available?).

Booley...quite accessible....though close up views of the falls are available everywhere on Brazil side. We stayed at Hotel Das Cataratas and solid walking bridges are very convenient. The only slightly difficult walk is down to the river where you can take a boat right up to the falls. (see pics)
