By plane

Foz do Iguaçu International Airport (IGU) is on Rodovia das Cataratas, on the way between the city center and Iguaçu National Park. This helps if you want to visit the Brazilian Falls or Parque das Aves on your arrival or departure day.

From the airport to your accommodation, the usual options are taxi, ride-hailing app, a booked transfer or city bus. Confirm public transport routes and schedules with the city government before relying on them, especially at night.

On the other side of the border is Aeropuerto Internacional Cataratas del Iguazú (IGR), in Puerto Iguazú. It may be worth comparing flights, but remember that if you stay in Foz you will cross the border on arrival and departure, with valid documents.

By bus

The Foz do Iguaçu International Bus Terminal (Rodoviária Internacional) serves interstate and international routes. It is located away from the center; plan the leg to your accommodation.

By car

The main road link with the rest of the state of Paraná is highway BR-277. When you arrive, decide whether the car will cross borders: to enter Argentina or Paraguay with a Brazilian vehicle, Carta Verde insurance is mandatory. See crossing the border by car.
