MALARIA .....IGUAZU FALLS

HEY.........

I am just about to go to IGUAZU FALLS. Do i need to take malaria tablets..........

no!

The Iguazu Falls are at an elevation where malaria is uncommon. Most travelers do not use their anti-malarials while visiting the Falls.

There is a risk of malaria in the rural areas of Salta and Jujuy provinces (along the Bolivian border) and Misiones and Corrientes provinces (along the border of Paraguay). The risk is higher during the summer months (December-May). Chloroquine is the recommended anti-malarial for these areas and available over-the-counter in S. America.
