Foz do Iguaçu Airport to Argentina – Without the Border Stress
Landing in one country when your hotel is in another can be stressful. Trying to figure out how to get from Foz do Iguaçu Airport (IGU) across the international border into Puerto Iguazu, Argentina, is the last thing you want to do after a long flight.
Many travelers assume they can just use a rideshare app or grab a street taxi when they land. Standard rideshares from IGU cannot legally cross into Argentina, meaning they will drop you at the border, leaving you to walk through customs with your luggage and find a second taxi on the other side.
As the border crossing experts in the area, Green Toad, in association with Iguazu Falls Travel, offers a seamless, door-to-door solution. Your driver meets you inside the airport, loads your luggage, and fast-tracks you across the border directly to your hotel in Argentina.

Whether you are landing in the middle of the day or late at night, our private express service is designed to get you across safely, quickly, and with zero hassle.

Our Border Process
Our Border Process
The border is where most travelers arriving at IGU lose time and patience.
Standard taxis and public transfers get stuck in the same long vehicle queues as everyone else. Our service is designed specifically to protect your time and get you to your hotel faster.
What sets our border crossing apart?
It’s why people choose Green Toad over other companies.
For groups of 01 – 04 people (Private Car Service)
We use a two-driver system with 2 cars and 2 drivers to make the crossing faster. On busy days, the traffic line at Argentine immigration can take hours. Most vehicles have no choice but to sit and wait.
With us, your first driver takes you directly to the door of Argentine immigration. Before you enter the building, the driver points out your second driver. You go inside, process your passport, and walk out the other side. Your next driver is already there waiting to load your luggage and take you straight to your hotel in Puerto Iguazu. Everyone else waits in traffic. You do not.
For groups of 05 – 14 people (Private Van Service)
Our vans use dedicated tourism lanes at the border, reserved for licensed tour operators. Staffed and arranged to process group documents in a single coordinated stop, these lanes allow much faster processing than the general queue used by private travelers. Trip Advice
Late Night Arrivals

Booking this private transfer guarantees a safe, verified driver will be waiting for you inside the terminal, ensuring a secure and stress-free journey to your bed in Argentina.
Pre-payment
Because this transfer is pre-booked and paid for online, you do not need to worry about having Brazilian Reals to pay a local taxi at the airport, or Argentine Pesos to pay for onward transport. Simply land, meet your driver, and go.
