What exactly is CacaoCash?

CacaoCash is a digital wallet built for people who travel or live in Latin America. It lets you pay with the QR codes locals use every day — Pix in Brazil, Mercado Pago in Argentina, and more — using money you load from abroad. No local bank account, no cash runs, no bad exchange rates.

How do I add money to my wallet?

Several ways — whatever's easiest for you: • ACH or SEPA bank transfer • SWIFT bank transfer You'll always see the exact rate and any fees before you confirm. No surprises.

Do I need to verify my identity?

Yes, once. It's a quick in-app process — a photo of your ID and a selfie. It keeps your account secure and lets us work with regulated financial partners across the region. Most people finish in under 3 minutes.

What if a payment is pending, fails, or I get a refund?

Pending payments usually clear on their own within minutes. If a payment fails, your balance is returned immediately. Refunds land straight back in your wallet — no waiting, no friction. If anything ever looks wrong, our support team is one message away.

Are there hidden fees?

No. CacaoCash charges 2.5% per QR payment or peso transfer, and before every payment you'll see: • The exact amount being charged • The live exchange rate • The 2.5% fee What you approve is exactly what leaves your wallet. Bank deposits have no CacaoCash fee. Full details at cacaocash.com/fees.

I lost my phone. What happens to my money?

Nothing bad. Your account is tied to your identity, not your device. Just install the app on a new phone, sign in, and everything is exactly as you left it — balance, transaction history, all of it.

Iguazú Falls Entrance Fee 2026: Prices and How to Pay

The Iguazú Falls entrance fee on the Argentine side is ARS 60,000 for foreign non-residents since June 1, 2026, up 33% from ARS 45,000. That is about US$41 on a foreign card or about US$38.50 paying pesos with CacaoCash (October 2026 rates). The jungle train inside the park is included; the boat ride is not.

This guide is for foreign visitors planning a day at Iguazú National Park from Puerto Iguazú: what each ticket costs, what it covers, how to pay at the gate and how to spend fewer dollars on the rest of the trip.

Iguazú National Park ticket price 2026 (Argentine side)

Argentina's National Parks Administration (APN) raised fees at its national parks with Resolution 132/2026, in force since June 1, 2026. You may see "+115%" in headlines: that figure applies to other categories, not to foreign visitors. For foreigners the increase was 33%.

Visitor category	Price (ARS)	≈ USD on a foreign card
Foreign non-residents	60,000 (was 45,000)	≈US$41
Argentines	25,000	≈US$17
Students	15,000	≈US$10
Residents of Misiones province	8,000	≈US$5.50
Children under 6	Free (confirm at the ticket office)	US$0

Assumptions: fees in force since June 1, 2026 (APN Resolution 132/2026, reported by Minuto Uno and Gazeta SP). USD amounts are our own conversion at the ≈1,465 ARS/USD foreign card rate of October 2026. Some sources put the free age at 0 to 5, so check at the ticket office. Other categories have their own prices: check the official park site before you go.

Iguazú Falls Argentina side cost: what the ticket includes

Included: park entry and the Tren Ecológico de la Selva (the jungle train inside the park).
Not included: the Gran Aventura boat ride under the falls. It is a separate excursion paid on its own; ask for the current price before you book.
Second day: historically the park has given 50% off a second visit within 72 hours if you show your first-day ticket and ID (reported in November 2025). That would bring a foreign ticket to ARS 30,000. Confirm that it still applies in 2026 when you buy.

Getting there: the bus from Puerto Iguazú

The bus between Puerto Iguazú and the falls costs ARS 12,000 each way (fare approved in July 2026). That is about US$8 per leg on a foreign card, so ≈ARS 24,000 round trip. Ask the driver or at the bus terminal how you can pay before you board.

Iguazú tickets for foreigners: total cost for one day

Item	ARS	Foreign card (≈1,465)	CacaoCash (≈1,559 after fee)
Park entry, foreign non-resident	60,000	≈US$41	≈US$38.50
Bus Puerto Iguazú to the falls, round trip	24,000	≈US$16.40	≈US$15.40
Total	84,000	≈US$57.30	≈US$53.90

Assumptions: October 2026 rates from this site (foreign card non-resident rate ≈1,465; CacaoCash crypto dollar ≈1,559 after its 2.5% fee, see fees). The CacaoCash column only applies where the business takes a QR or an alias transfer. Excludes the boat ride, food and a second day. Rates move daily: check the live Argentina dollar rate.

How to pay the Iguazú Falls entrance fee

Buying online ahead of time is the recommended option. At the ticket office, cash in pesos and Visa or Mastercard are usually accepted. Bring a backup card in case one is declined, and some pesos for small purchases.

If you pay with a foreign card, the charge converts at the card rate, which in October 2026 was ≈1,465 pesos per dollar. That is why an ARS 60,000 ticket ends up near US$41. The difference between that rate and the crypto dollar is explained in card dollar vs crypto dollar.

If the ticket office or any stand shows a Mercado Pago QR, you can pay it from a dollar balance in CacaoCash. If it does not, use your card or cash.

The Brazilian side, if you cross

The Brazilian side is a separate park with its own ticket, sold online with a date and time slot. Prices start from about BRL 131 for international visitors; confirm on the official site before you go. It is paid in Brazilian reais, not pesos.

Spend fewer dollars on the rest of your Iguazú trip

The park ticket is one payment. Meals, remises, tours and guesthouses in Puerto Iguazú add up, and many of them charge by QR or bank transfer to an alias. With CacaoCash you keep a dollar balance and:

Pay Mercado Pago and MODO QR codes in restaurants, shops and kiosks.
Send pesos to any alias, CVU or CBU, for example to a tour operator or your host. New to those terms? Read CBU vs CVU vs alias.
Sign up with your passport only, no DNI and no Argentine bank account.
Load it by bank transfer from the US, Europe, the UK, Mexico, Brazil or Colombia, or with crypto.

Each payment converts at the crypto dollar with a 2.5% fee shown before you confirm (see fees). Even with that fee you get up to 10% more pesos than with a foreign card. It cannot receive pesos, so keep a card or some cash for places that only take those.
