Argentina has 39 national parks, managed by the Administración de Parques Nacionales (APN). The first two, Iguazú and Nahuel Huapi, were created in 1934. This atlas starts with Iguazú National Park on the Brazilian border, with the Upper and Lower Circuits, the jungle train and the Devil's Throat.
Fees depend on where you live: since 1 June 2026 foreign visitors pay 60,000 pesos at Iguazú, residents of Argentina 25,000. A second day within 72 hours is half price. The guide links every figure to APN or the park's concessionaires.

In all parks that charge entry, a second day is 50 per cent off, valid for 72 hours from your first visit. An annual pass for all parks costs 300,000 pesos.
No flights over protected areas
National Parks Law 22,351 prohibits flights by motor-powered aircraft, drones included. Helicopter flights over Iguazu Falls therefore take off in Brazil. Plan the Devil's Throat
