Drone photo & video · Puerto Iguazú
In short
Drone photo & video in Puerto Iguazú starts at $260: 60 min on location with a photographer who works in Puerto Iguazú, and 25 edited photos + a 1-minute edited film delivered to a private gallery within 7 days.
Why choose drone photo & video in Puerto Iguazú?
Everyone wants the aerial of Iguazú Falls, and on the Argentine side it is not available to anyone with a consumer drone. What a drone session in Puerto Iguazú can deliver is the rainforest, the red earth roads, the rivers and the lodges around the park, flown legally on land outside it. That is the honest version of this service. What you receive after an hour in the air: 25 edited stills and one edited minute of film, ready within a week.
Worth knowing about Puerto Iguazú
Ley 24.868 declares a noise protection zone over the entire Parque Nacional Iguazú, reaching 750 m above its highest obstacle, and prohibits any aircraft or flying device below that ceiling, with the Fuerza Aérea as enforcing authority. A drone session in Puerto Iguazú is therefore flown outside the park boundary, never toward the falls.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in Puerto Iguazú
Can we fly a drone over Iguazú Falls in Argentina?
No. Ley 24.868 prohibits any flying device below 750 m above the highest obstacle in the Parque Nacional Iguazú, and APN Resolution D 9/2021 bans recreational drone use in national parks and requires prior express APN authorisation for any other flight. A drone session in Puerto Iguazú films the forest, rivers and lodges outside the park instead.
Where can a drone fly around Puerto Iguazú?
Over private land outside the park, with the owner's permission, under ANAC's open category: within the pilot's sight, below about 122 m above the ground and never over people who are not taking part. Inside the Área Cataratas, APN Resolution 460/2025 also bars drones at small private events except by extraordinary authorisation.
