From the lookout, you can see all three countries across the water and take in the broad river views. The site is a simple, relaxed stop for photos, with souvenir stalls and restaurants nearby. It suits a short visit focused on the scenery, rather than a day of attractions or performances.
The three-country viewpoint

The Argentine viewpoint looks across the water toward the other two countries. It is an easy place to pause and take in the geography of the Triple Frontier without crossing a border.
The river junction is the main reason to come. The view takes in the waterways and the neighboring shorelines, making the lookout a natural stop for photographs. The landmark is in Puerto Iguazú, at Avenida Río Iguazú and Avenida Tres Fronteras.
