Foz do Iguazu
Foz do Iguaçu is one of the most visited by tourists in Brazil.
The main attractions are:
The Iguassu Falls, (with a flow capacity equal to three Niagara Falls).
Part of the falls are in the Brazilian side, others (including the "Garganta do Diabo", the tallest of the falls, 97 m, 318 ft high) are in the Argentinian side.
Parque Nacional do Iguaçu (Iguazu National Park), in both Brazil and Argentina, where the falls are. It is protected by the IBAMA.
Itaipu Dam, the largest generator of hydro-electric power in the world, in the Parana river, between Brazil and Paraguay.
The Tríplice Fronteira (Triple Frontier) location where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet. Each side has its own Marco (landmark).
The Bird Park (Parque das Aves), with a reasonably big collection of wild birds, and the "Bosque Guarani", the city's zoo.
Many people who live in the city work in its neighbor, Ciudad del Este.
All trade between Brazil and Paraguay uses the Friendship Bridge (called Ponte da Amizade in Brazil).
