The Triple Frontier Landmark (Marco das Três Fronteiras) is in Foz do Iguaçu, at the point where the Iguaçu River flows into the Paraná River. From there you can see Argentina and Paraguay, each with its own landmark on the opposite bank — on the Argentine side, the Hito Tres Fronteras.

Understanding the Triple Frontier
The meeting of the rivers separates the three countries: the Iguaçu River between Brazil and Argentina, and the Paraná River between Brazil and Paraguay and between Argentina and Paraguay. The Tancredo Neves Bridge (Brazil–Argentina) and the Friendship Bridge (Brazil–Paraguay) connect Foz to its neighboring cities. See it all on the map.
