Can I get a Brazilian Visa at Iguazu Falls?
 
I am planning on visiting Iguazu Falls in Early March. We are flying into the Argentina side from Buenos Aries. We would also like to attend the Brazilian side of the falls. We do not have a Brazilian visa and do not have the 10 days necessary to get one from the consulate in San Francisco. Is it possible to get a visa in Puerto Iguazu? Thanks

If so, what is the process and cost?

In Iguazu,it is variable but easy generally you need evidence of entry and exit from Brasil (flight, bus ticket etc),sometimes yellow fever vaccination An address in Brasil..... and there are no queues,an hour or so in Puerto Iguazu.Costs www.travel.state.gov Brazil the same.

personally the Argentina side is best

save your visa money buy a falls view room at the Sheraton

Thanks qwovadis.

We will be there for 3 days. I figure 2 days at the falls - therefore, would like to see the Brazilian side too (if possible). Could you recommend a side trip for the other day? Jungle excursion, ruins, etc..? Unfortunately, we will be there on the new moon (no night walk at the falls)

Also, I hear the Sheridan is great and looking into it. Would you recommend the Iguazu Jungle Lodge as a good place to stay in Puerto Iguazu?
