Located only 11 miles (18km) from Iguazu Falls, Puerto Iguazu is the only major city near the Argentina side of the falls. Though the falls were discovered in 1542, the area was not settle by colonial missionaries until the 1880s. The area steadily grew into a small city and has since based its economy around tours to Iguazu Falls. The city is connected to the Brazilian border town of Foz do Iguacu, which offers access to the Brazilian side of the Falls, and is serviced by Cataratas del Iguazu International Airport.
