 Cataratas Airport by csordila
The Airport is one of the best equipped in the country. Its runway, equipped with radar-based approach control for day and night flights, is capable of landing any kind of aircraft, such as B-747, DC-10 or A-330.
It also serves nearby cities including Ciudad del Este, Paraguay.
Currently you can only fly directly to Foz do Iguaçu from within Brazil. There are 16 daily flights from/to Brazilian cities such as Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, São Paulo, Salvador etc.; four by Varig, two by Vasp, two by Tam and one by Ocean Air among others. A normal priced return is around US$600.
Aerial distances: Rio de Janeiro 685 miles; only a 2 hour flight, Brasília 740 miles, Curitiba 288 miles, Porto Alegre 346 miles, Sao Paulo 492 miles.
Distance from downtown of Foz do Iguaçu about 12 kms on highway BR 469, driving time 20 minutes. The Taxis in the airport bring the visitors to wherever they want to go.
The airport is not to be confused with Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport, which is located beyond the border in Puerto Iguazú/Argentina!!!!

Overall, this is a very easy airport to navigate, as it is a very small place with just a few gates. We were treated to a band when we first arrived, and entered through just one small gate. There are two airlines that land here, TAM and GOL, both Brazilian regional airlines. Leave a Comment

Sarah and I were actually able to book this flight through American Airlines in the US, but unfortunately we will not be able to do that any more as the code share agreement ended in 2007. Leave a Comment

Originally, the plan was to use buses to conquer the significant distance between Rio de Janeiro and Foz de Iguaçu but the reality massacred it. First, when I tried to go the "Brazilian" way with a "leito" bus, meaning sleeper class, it was impossible to board it from Rio; just from Sao Paulo. This meant a change of buses in Sao Paulo many hours of travel and as I was prompted by a benevolent concierge, significant danger to the stomach. The food bought along the route would be of questionable quality.
Second, the price of the bus ticket combined with the food expenditures would amount to exactly half the price of the airplane ticket. Considering that the plane crosses the same distance ten times faster, it was a huge bargain. Varig is fabulous - one can book and buy a ticket the day before departure for a price not affected by the proximity of purchase and flight. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneWebsite: Varig.com

 Cuenca Tours Mini-Bus by Bwana_Brown
I began to think that things were going funny when we immediately crossed over into Brazil, but we at least turned for the Brazil-side of Iguasu Falls after clearing Immigration. However, it was only a short drive to pick up some more Spanish-speaking passengers before we then turned to head toward Foz and onward to Itaipu Dam! Oh well, we were along for the ride now! It was only near noon while we were waiting in downtown Foz that the driver gestured to see my ticket again and realized what was going on.
Arrangements were made to finally get us to the Argentine-side of Iguazu by 2 PM in the afternoon. It is a good thing my motto is 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff'. The morning had been interesting in it's own way! Overall, Cuenca del Plata did a great job, except for this little mix-up.

 Crossing Rio Iguazu into
Argentina (left) by Bwana_Brown
As far as the tours were concerned, once the bus driver picked us up from our hotel, they wanted passports and then wrote various details of all the passengers on a sheet of paper. On arrival at the Brazil border post near the bridge, the driver would head off into the building with his piece of paper and the passports. A short time later, he would return with our documents and away we went, never having actually shown our faces to the Brazilian authorities.
Check for Visa requirements though. Brazil has a tit-for-tat policy of requiring them if your country requires them to get one. In my case, due to a little spat between Canada and Brazil over aircraft manufacturing subsidies, before leaving on our trip I had to get my first visa (US$80) since going to Egypt in 1974.

The Terminal Urbana is the main bus station and it's located on Avenida Juscelino Kubitschek (on the Rio Parana side of town). From here you can catch buses to Itaipu, the airport, Puerto Iguazu, Ciudad del Este and, of course, the waterfalls. The buses for the falls are marked Cataratas and run every 20 minutes. You'll pay less than a buck. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
