Located along Paraná's eastern border, this region's unlimited features are really beyond compare.
For starters, there's the flora and fauna of Iguaçu National Park, the incredible grandeur and beauty of Iguaçu Falls themselves, the giant Itaipu Hydroelectric dam, plus the unique birdlife of Parque das Aves.
The Paraná and Iguaçu Rivers offer terrific boating and sport fishing, and the area is also where you'll find the cultures of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina existing side by side. The area is best known for the mighty Uguacu Falls, or Foz do Iguaçu. Formed by the Iguaçu River, the 275 waterfalls, which spill over the towering cliffs, are simply one of the world's great spectacles and tourist attractions.
Iguaçu National Park houses one of the most unique wildlife reserves in southern Brazil, serving as a habitat for countless species of plants and animals. More adventurous visitors can travel through the middle of a subtropical forest along the rustic routes leading to the Macuco waterfall, or Salto do Macuco. Bird watchers should definitely visit the aviaries in Parque das Aves, which display over 500 species of birds from South America and other continents.
The strength of human technical endeavor can certainly be seen in the Amizade and Tancredo Neves Bridges, but more dramatically so in the Itaipu Hydroeletric Power Station. One of world's largest such facilities, it generates energy for the south, southeast, and mid-east regions of Brazil.

After viewing the region's many unforgettable sights, you should complete your trip by stopping in Iguaçu Falls City, where you can try your luck in the casinos, and check out the shopping bargains just across the border in Argentina or Paraguay, where you'll find a wide selection of imported products on display. The city also features artistic shows and good choices of local and international restaurants.
