Iguazu is primarily known for its world-famous waterfalls, Iguazu Falls, rather than for being a significant marine port. In fact, Iguazu is not a marine port at all. It is an inland city located near the border of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, and it is situated along the Iguazu River, which eventually merges with the Parana River.

However, if you are looking for information related to ports and waterways in Argentina, it might be useful to consider the following major ports:

Since Iguazu is not a maritime port, if you need information specifically about maritime activities and ports, the above-mentioned ports are relevant. For inland port activities, any specific data about river ports along the Paraná or Iguazu Rivers may be useful for logistics or tourism purposes.

If your inquiry was about the Iguazu area from a tourism standpoint, Iguazu is famous for its natural beauty and the Iguazu Falls, attracting numerous visitors. The nearest airport is Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport (IGR) in Argentina. River cruises and smaller docking areas may be present for tourism-related activities, but it will not have the large-scale infrastructure found in commercial maritime ports.
