But it was what we had and we embarked on this “adventure”. We took the tour with a private car (my mother's) and had no problems, more details below.

The doubt is understandable and I can tell you that it depends a lot on how you go and what you want to do in the region. Mirella went by car and wanted to enjoy the restaurants on the Argentine side, so she chose to stay in Puerto Iguazú. Carina went by plane and didn't want to rent a car, so she chose Foz do Iguaçu in her itinerary to be on the Brazilian side. It would be closer to most attractions and would be easier to get around. Considering these two examples from our partners, you may already have more or less an idea of what would be best for you. On the Brazilian side, it is easier to reach attractions and there is more transport availability (taxi, uber, public transport, transfers). If you choose to stay on the Argentine side, be aware that you will need a car to get around, but you can enjoy the delicious restaurants at Hermanos.

We had to open the trunk (Kiko, the husband, got out of the car to open it and avoid problems). But, we didn't tip and we weren't harassed; Before traveling to Argentina, I recommend obtaining a green card from your insurance company. Furthermore, if the car is not in your name, you must obtain authorization from the owner to drive; Pay attention to the fuel tank, as there are not many gas stations on the road, especially those from well-known brands like Shell.
