Introduction

The Hito de Las Tres Fronteras sits in Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, at the confluence of the Paraná and Iguazú rivers where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet. Border markers and giant flagpoles line the bank, and after dark three national colours light the water while Brazilian and Paraguayan towns twinkle across the river. A rare spot in South America to 'stand in three countries at a glance', it is a light, geography-flavoured and sunset-romantic stop on any Iguazú trip. Riverside food stalls let you taste Argentine asado, Brazilian fare and Paraguayan snacks in one stop.
