Parana Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Iguazu Falls, Brazil and Argentina

Argentina and Brazil share World Heritage national parks conserving spectacular waterfalls that feed the Iguazu River. Multiple cataracts, extending more than 8,800 feet from a height of 262 feet, generate a vast spray of water in a unique subtropical rainforest habitat. Stay in either country’s tourist town, boat or bus in and carry your passport to cross the border. Plus, look for rainbows, 2,000 plant species and animals, including tapirs, anteaters, monkeys, ocelots, jaguars and caimans. #nationalpark

The biggest falls of the world! Considered to be on of the 7 world wonders of 2011. Such a wonderful view and amazing experience! With a great amount of walking trails, you truly feel as a one with the nature, and never want to leave the place. Sadly it closes around 6. 10/10 would reccomend 👌 Ps. Argentina's side is better 🤫

Iguazu Falls, Argentine side

Check in at the world's widest waterfall, the Iguazu Falls on the Argentine side! Unfortunately, the Devil's Throat has been cut off and it's not open yet.. It's like following Wong Kar-wai to Argentina In the morning, go to the bus terminal and take a bus to the falls, 7000P/person/round trip, about 40 minutes (towards the airport). Since I bought tickets online before for 20000p/person, there's no need to queue. It's just Labor Day, so there are slightly more people. The staff generally speak English (both at the station and the scenic area). There's a luggage storage place nearby, didn't ask the price. After entering, just follow the main road. You can choose to wait for the little train (registration required, free, wait for your name to be called) or take the green trail on the right side of the station, about 655m, to the real entrance of the trail. There are two paths, upper and lower. We went to the lower one first, saw the full view of the waterfall and a rainbow, very beautiful. Saw a few boats rushing into the waterfall, took a round trip, about 90 minutes, walking, stopping, and taking pictures (as estimated by the road signs). Met a group of Malaysians while resting. Then went to the upper, the scenery was not as good as the lower, no rainbow, just saw the source of the waterfall. Both paths are circular. On the way out, saw crocodiles and monkeys. After leaving the scenic area, took a bus back to the city from the right side of the scenic area entrance. Then waited for the double-decker bus at the bus terminal, one every two hours, also takes two hours, touring around the attractions of Iguazu, saw a racecourse, zoo, duty-free shop, and a glimpse of three countries.

New 7 Wonders of the World

Stayed at the Sanma Hotel which was a short five minutes walk away from the entrance of one of the seven wonders of the world - the iguazu Brazil!!! The place was absolutely stunning just watching the amount of water that flows through and the intensity of the flow. The nature park was so well planned that one can complete the whole course in 2hours and get to be up close with the water falls. I’ve been to several waterfalls world wide including Niagara and I’ve got to say Iguazu tops it 100%. The magnificence is absolutely mind blowing. My only regret is that I didn’t have time to go to the Argentina side.

Iguazú National Park with it's Iguazú Falls are composed of 275 separate cascades, the World's largest broken waterfalls. Located in the Northeastern tip of Argentina and bordering the Brazilian state of Parana to the north.... One of the most impressive places on earth where you can experience and admire up close what our mother earth can accomplish. It is only to be hoped that mankind knows how to protect these and all other masterpieces of nature so that they can be preserved for future generations.

Iguazu Falls the most beautiful and also the biggest falls in the world, located between Argentina and Brazil. They share that fabulous waterfall. The River Iguazu that become natural border of Argentina and Brazil tumbles over the Parana Plateu, and then drains to River Parana that at the intersection just after the fall is the border of Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay. at that time i visited the Brazil side, since my flight was from Sao Paulo, and also as Indonesian passport holder, we get free Visa to visit Brazilia. So it will be much easier for us. Believe it or not, most of the part of the falls is at Argentina side, so the best view and instagramable is considerably more beautiful if you take from Brazil side. Once you enter the National park, with very affordable entrance fee, you may enjoy the trip with safari bus that provided by the park. it's such an amazing experience #mynovgetaway #thanksgiving #unforgettableexperiences#decembertravel#mynovgetaway#awesomepic#instagramworthydestinations

Iguazu Belmond The only hotel in the Iguazu National Park in Brazil, the room is just facing the waterfall. seems to have lived in the castle, and recently I like gay powder more and more, I dont know how it happened. The room price is around 3k.

The whole hotel is not only famous for enjoying the beauty of Iguazu Falls, but as the world's top ten hotel group, the five-star Belmond Hotel is the only one in Iguazu National Park. The hotels unique location has always been highly regarded. And the price of more than 2000/RMB/night is almost the same as the price in the local area. There is a romantic atmosphere everywhere. In addition to the elegant and luxurious decoration design, the Portuguese colonial architecture is also a major feature of the hotel. The hotels traditional Portuguese painted tiles are designed to blend Portuguese historical features into the building.

Have l told you about Itaipu powerplant (hydroelectric dam)? lt is located at the border of Brazil and Paraguay. I'm not really good at Portugese, but they mentioned something like 'this place could provide electricity for a whole world for 40 days', and l think it's amazing! l mean, how cool is that?! 🤯

NICE Itaipu Hydropower Station Once the largest hydropower station in the world, it is now the most in China's Three Gorges. The Itaipu hydropower station is jointly owned and operated by Brazil and Paraguay. It is also a tourist attraction in Iguazu and can be booked online. Three countries junction Recommended on the Brazilian side of the boundary pillar, the best scenery ~ Tickets: 22 local currency Argentina side of the visit is free, Paraguay is not open to the outside world
