7 days in Foz do Iguacu Itinerary

A gateway to the world-renowned Iguacu Falls, which spectacularly divide Brazil and Argentina, the modern, high-rise city of Foz do Iguacu can't help but play second fiddle to the natural wonder in its vicinity.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Stand-Up Paddleboarding and Astronomy Polo Casimiro Montenegro Filho. Attractions like Catedral Nossa Senhora Aparecida and Nature & Wildlife Tours make great kid-friendly stops. Next up on the itinerary: get to know the resident critters at Parque das Aves Bird Park, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Catedral Diocesana Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, stop by Artesanato Chocolate Caseiro Tres Fronteiras, and take the plunge with a skydiving experience.
