From real experience

When traveling to Iguazú Falls via Puerto Iguazú Airport, money exchange is possible en route to the Brazilian side of the falls.
There are numerous exchange offices available in the city, including within the Palladium shopping center. Exercise caution with unsolicited private messages offering exchange services, as these may be scams. Official administrators do not initiate private contact for recommendations or services.
