Iguazu Falls Both Sides & Three Borders

Based in Foz, spend two days exploring the Brazilian and Argentine sides of the falls, and visit Itaipu and the Triple Frontier.

A leisurely short route: enjoy panoramic views on the Brazilian side and get up close to the Devil's Throat on the Argentine side. The two sides are visited on separate days to avoid rushing. It also includes the Itaipu Dam, Bird Park, and a wildlife rescue center, making it perfect for first-timers and families. Stay in downtown Foz do Iguaçu throughout, or switch to Puerto Iguazú and reverse the order of the itinerary.

Summer is hot and humid with high water volume; the water can look muddy after rain, and trails may close temporarily.
