About
Mirador Salto Floriano is a panoramic viewpoint in Misiones Province, Argentina, near Puerto Iguazú. It is also known as the Floriano Falls Viewpoint. Its purpose is simple: to give visitors a good place from which to see the Floriano waterfall set within the Atlantic Forest.
What to expect
The viewpoint is built on elevated wooden platforms, placed to offer clear angles for photography. From them you look across the falls and out over the green canopy of the surrounding forest, which is the main landscape of the site.

Planning your visit
The viewpoint is a short, focused stop rather than a full day out, so it suits travellers already passing through the Iguazú area. The address given for the site places it within the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, in Paraná, Brazil, which is worth checking against your route before you set off. For up-to-date information, the listed contact number is +55 45 3521-4400.
Puerto Iguazú itself is the natural base for exploring the area, and the viewpoint works well as one part of a wider visit to the forest and its waterfalls. Wear comfortable shoes for the walk and bring water, as the forest setting can be warm and humid.
