Foz do Iguacu

Foz do Iguaçu sits at the meeting of the Iguaçu and Paraná rivers in Brazil’s Paraná state, where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet. Iguaçu National Park protects the Brazilian side of Iguaçu Falls, an extensive system of cataracts set in subtropical Atlantic Forest and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. On the Paraná River, the Brazil–Paraguay Itaipu Dam began generating electricity in 1984, reflecting the region’s binational character as well as its strategic border setting. The city’s daily life is shaped by Brazilian, Argentine and Paraguayan connections. Browse nearby webcams to gain a broader sense of Foz do Iguaçu and western Paraná.
