Keep in mind it can get really hot out here so when you're out visiting the national parks, be certain that you drink enough water and take it easy.
For warnings about the dangerous elements around here, check out my Ciudad del Este, Paraguay page. To summarize, there are many groups, organizations and general "lowlifes" in this part of the world because of the border areas and the ease in which things can be smuggled into Brazil by way of Paraguay.
While there are plenty of internet places around, connections are not always reliable.
Taxis are also plentiful, but not all of the drivers are going to charge you an honest fare. Be sure to ask someone who would know how much the fare should cost before you go (the front desk of your hotel should know) and then get the driver to give you an estimate before you agree to the ride. I got taken for a ride (literally and figuratively) when I caught a cab from the Friendship Bridge (Ponte da Amizade) to Itaipu. I overpaid by about 20 reais. Also, be warned that not all of the cabs are well-maintained. In this picture, you can see that my taxi driver had to stop at a gas station to try to cool down the engine. Fortunately, we made it to our destination. Leave a Comment

If you feed them even a little bit, it will be impossible to get rid of them, so don't start the trend! You will find that most restaurant owners do their best to keep these pests away, but remember it is just them trying to survive, so don't blame them, blame the other tourists for giving them a hint of opportunity!

 Tchau, tchau ! by cybergenic
You purchase a ticket that takes you from Puerto Iguazu (ARGENTINA) to Foz do Iguacu. (BRAZIL) They are basically bus terminals on either side of the border aproximately 50 km apart.
The problem is, that the bus drivers are in such a hurry that they drop you off at the border and then keep going. They expect you to get picked up by the next bus when it comes through. The only reason you get off the bus at the border is so you can immigrate. The problem is the bus does not wait for anyone to cross the border into Brazil. AS soon as you get off the bus they just floor it with the remaining local passengers.
I was dumb enough to leave my food, water and a hat on the bus. It could have been worse.
The actual immigration process takes about 15 minutes depending on how many people are with you. Leave a Comment

On my last day in Foz, I enquired at the tourist office about visiting the three frontiers landmark by bus, and was advised NOT to do so, unless travelling by taxi. Apparently, a Chinese tour goup had recently headed down there and were held up at gunpoint and robbed.
Go to the tourst office at the top of Avenida Brasil (where it junctions with Avenida Jorge Schimmelpfeng) and follow their advice. Leave a Comment

Most likely, if you need a Visa for Brazil, you'll need it for Argentina as well.
So make sure you have one before you get to the border as they will send you back...
So just check with the argentinian embassy before. Leave a Comment

We were in Foz do Iguacu for the waterfalls of course, but figured we'd bum around town.. Of course, Brazil is in general more dangerous than a lot of other places, but according to these locals FdI is the "3rd most dangerous city in Brazil." So take that however you want to take it.
