Amenities and tips
IGU
The Lounge CataratasAdvantage VIP LoungeDuty Free / Dufry corridorBus 120 Parque NacionalFase 1B hold (Jan 2025)
LATAM 2 h domestic / 3 h international — IGU is not on the 3 h domestic list
LATAM's general table is 2 hours for a domestic departure and 3 hours for an international one. IGU is not in the domestic exception list. Budget extra on the morning GRU bank when the single hall stacks.
One roof — all three lounges are domestic airside, not the SCL sterile
Check-in is on the ground floor; security and the departure hold are upstairs. The Lounge Cataratas sits opposite Gate 2. Advantage is left after Dufry. Emerald is at the far end of the Duty Free corridor between gates 3 and 7.
Keep a sealed bottle through domestic screening — 100 ml is the SCL filter
Buy water landside or just after the first security filter on a domestic departure. Empty or buy 100 ml for JetSMART SCL. Operator has no published fountain map.
IGR
Iguazu by AMAE Lounge
AMAE is daytime domestic only
Priority Pass lists Iguazu by AMAE 07:00–22:00 airside in front of Gate 1. Domestic only; max stay 3h.
After security, turn left to Gate 1

Falls traffic, not a hub
IGR is the Argentine Falls gateway — expect leisure peaks, not long-haul hub amenities.
IGU · A one-terminal Motiva field on BR-469: 2.25 million passengers in 2025, a 2,705 m runway, three domestic-only lounges, Uber and a R$5 bus — and almost all of the flow is still GRU, GIG and CGH plus a thin JetSMART SCL door.
IGR · Puerto Iguazú Cataratas with a daytime domestic Priority Pass AMAE lounge in front of Gate 1 (07:00–22:00). Compact Falls gateway — no overnight or international PP airside product indexed. About 16–20 km from Puerto Iguazú centro.
