A recent review from August 2024 captures the essence of this experience:

An amazing place to visit - We booked an English guide, and she was amazing! Argentine was a nice place to visit! We live in Europe, so Duty Free wasn’t a nice place to us, the prices there were higher than in normal stores in Holland. But Aripuca was so nice place… we already told our family and friends that it is a place that you must visit, not just because of the tree houses but also for the history. After there we went to Hito Tres Fronteras, also a nice place for a short visit. But what we really liked and if it was possible, we would like to spend more time in the city center Puerto Iguazu, we like to see and learn more about the culture and there was an amazing place to be!
