Does anyone know if there are wheelchairs (or some other accommodation for the handicapped) available by the falls?

Yes. Nearly all the walkways are wheelchair accessible.

according to the website there seems to be wheelchairs or electric carts http://www.iguazuargentina.com/en/accesibilidad/
alternatively call the hotels (which ever side you;re on, Belmond for Brazil, Sheraton for Argentina)

Really cool! This is the first Intercontinental route from either IGR or IGU. Useless for those in the States, but super useful for those in Israel or Europe. The only downside is its Air Europa.

Ramps probably. They won't have a gate for a bigger plane.

We are going to Iguazu in December. For the Argentina side, I saw that there were three hiking loops which appears to take maybe two hours each. Have people done the three circuits (upper, lower and Devils throat) in one day? Are all three loops worth doing? We are staying in the park so we can get an early start.

We were there December 2014 , the young and fit among us did all in one day.

Thank you for your reply. This is very helpful for planning. We will try to do all three but I will suggest one member of the group skip one of the circuits. If we had to skip one, would you recommend skipping the upper or lower circuit?

Maybe you missed a decimal point or added an extra 0 by mistake? Each of the upper and lower loops take 20 minutes max, and that's going slowly. You can do them all in an hour if you want, max. Devils throat is a bit farther than the other two, with a train taking you there. From the trail head, it's maybe 10 minutes each way. I'd estimate an hour or two for Devil's Throat if there are lines for the train and lots of crowds.

There's no need to skip them. They're both short loops. If you wanted to skip one maybe I would skip the upper loop, as the devil's throat is also on the top so you can have a small understanding of seeing the waterfalls from above over there. The lower loop is the only one where you get to see the bottom of the falls up close and personal.

This is very helpful. Not sure why I assumed they were longer. Very insightful and thank you.

no way they are much longer
skip the lower loop, it's longer than the upper (this is how i remember it... website below disagrees

lower circuit is 1700 meters and recommended time is 1:45
upper is 1750 and recommended time is 2:00
devils throat is 2200 meters and recommended time is 2 hours
