If you are arriving in Argentina through International Airport Ezeiza (Buenos Aires) and must make it onto a connecting flight to Iguazú flying out of Aeropuerto Jorge Newbery (Buenos Aires), you can arrange for a shuttle service to take you to Aeropuerto Jorge Newbery. When you exit the baggage claim area into the general public area of the EZE terminal, you will immediately see several desks to your left offering "remis" (hired car) service. Manuel Tienda León is one of them, and is frequently recommended.
 Allow one hour to Jorge Newbery, although usually it's closer to 45 minutes. There's also van service by Tienda León and others; it's much cheaper than a car if you're traveling alone, but if there are two or more the car quickly becomes competitive or even a better deal. Whatever you do, do NOT go out to the curb and flag a cab, or accept a hired car from someone other than people behind those desks.Need to get from Buenos Aires to Iguazú?
