Wanda is well connected to the rest of the country by National Route 12, which connects it with Puerto Iguazú, Posadas and Buenos Aires. Wanda is also the origin of Provincial Route 19, the only access route to the city of Andresito and the international bridge that connects the latter with Capanema, in Brazil.

The main economic activity is forestry, as around half of the municipality's land is covered by reforested forests. Tourism and the cultivation of yerba mate are also important to the town's economy as well.
