Foz do Iguaçu Travel Guide

We help you plan, compare and share your vacation in Foz do Iguaçu.

Foz do Iguaçu is located in the extreme west of the State of Parana, on the border of Brazil with Paraguay and Argentina. Together with the Argentine cities of Ciudad Del Est and Puerto Iguazu, it is part of one the largest cultural tourism poles in South America.
The word Iguaçu means "large water", in Tupi-Guarani etymology. It is a perfect name for the greatness of Iguassu’s waterfalls, one of the planet’s natural wonders, with 275 waterfalls and an average height of 60m. Every year, thousands of Brazilian and foreign tourists visit the Falls, one of the country’s main tourist attractions. The biggest attraction is the Garganta do Diabo (Devil’s Throat), which is on the Argentine side. It is possible to take a boat ride on the Falls rapids in the exciting Macuco Safari.
Another interesting tour is the visit to the Itaipu Hidroelectric Plant – the largest in the world of its category – to check out the gigantic dimensions of this feat. There is also the Birds Park where aviaries harbour numerous birds of varied species, from the five continents.
There is also an international-quality golf course in Foz do Iguaçu, not to mention the Ecomuseum, the Guarani Woods Zoo and the Three Borders Landmark, where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet.
On the other side of the river, in the Paraguayan city of Ciudad del Leste – which borders Foz - it is possible to buy duty-free imported items up to the amount determined by the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service.
