The logic of this itinerary
With four days, you can fit in the full Triple Frontier: Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.
- Day 1: arrival and the Triple Frontier Landmark.
- Day 2: the Brazilian Falls and Parque das Aves.
- Day 3: the Argentine side of the Falls and, if you still have energy, dinner in Puerto Iguazú.
- Day 4: Itaipu and half a day in Ciudad del Este.
Adjustments
- Shopping is a priority: flip day 4 — Ciudad del Este in the morning, Itaipu in the afternoon — and read up on the Receita Federal allowance and rules.
- With small children: leave out Ciudad del Este and use the afternoon of day 4 to rest.
- Flight on day 4: do Itaipu and save Paraguay for another trip.
