1. What is best way to get there from BA? I have plane and train.[/QUOTE]Train? There ain't no train to Iguazú!
In fact, there are very few long-distance trains in Argentina that you'd want to risk taking. There definitely used to be one from BsAs to Posadas that went once or twice per week and was scheduled to take something like 20 hours but would often take a couple of days, with various sectors replaced by a bus service. And if you took that one you'd still have to take a bus from Posadas to Iguazú, which is another 6 hours.
The buses are fine, but make sure you get an executive service with a lay-flat seat. Not 'semi-cama' or anything else that says 'cama', which is a device to convince tourists that they're getting a bed (cama). Ask specifically for a lay-flat seat. Draw it or make hand signals if your Spanish isn't up to it. Or better still, fly. With bus prices like they are it's only a little bit more expensive. For those of us that live here it's actually cheaper to fly!

Interesting calculation, the relative value of the savings achieved by not buying a Brazilian visa to the probability-adjusted cost of a stay (however brief) in a Brazilian jail and some sort of black-ball on your passport to slow you down at every immigration counter you try to pass for the rest of your traveling life.
Me? I'd either buy the visa or spend the Iguazu-trip money on chicas in Bs As.
