Where nature roars and borders meet.

Foz do Iguaçu is one of South America's most awe-inspiring destinations. At the meeting point of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, it blends jaw-dropping nature, cultural diversity and thrilling experiences like nowhere else.

At its heart are the Iguaçu Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, where around 275 waterfalls crash through the Atlantic Forest.

But Foz is more than waterfalls. Stand at the Three Borders Landmark, ride a boat under the falls, walk through the Bird Park, visit the Itaipu Dam and taste the food of three nations in a single trip.
