📍 Destination Overview
Foz do Iguacu is a Brazilian border city on the Iguacu River, gateway to Iguazu Falls. The falls stretch 2.7 km across 275 cascades, the deepest, Devil's Throat, dropping 82 m—one of the world's most spectacular, a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site. The huge Itaipu dam, a bird park of toucans and macaws, and a Three Borders landmark complete the visit.
