Airport Information & Travel to Iguaçu
There are two international airports close to Iguaçu: the Brazilian Foz do Iguacu Airport (IGU) and the Argentinian Iguazu International Airport.
They are approximately 5 miles from the Iguaçu Falls and from the neighboring cities of Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Puerto Iguazu (Argentina). The Brazilian airport is suggested as more flights are offered (and consequently airfare is lower).
Visa
Participants are requested to consult the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate in their home country or with their travel agency for specific details relating to visa requirements. It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain a visa if required. Please click here for more information click here.
