Forum Question Posted By: Replies:
Parque Nacional do Iguaçu Customs and Bus travel between the Parque and Igauzu de Foz
Posted: Thu October 30, 2003 04:57 AM UTC
I was on the Igauzu forum site and saw that you are a good source for Igausu Falls. I want to know how I get from the airport on the AR side to Igauzu de Foz. I am assuming it is by bus. but do you go through customs when you come to the border?

I am going to enter Brazil that way and then bus to Rio. from rio I will use my Varig Air Pass to fly within the country and back to Igauzu de Foz and then bus back over the border to the AR side and catch a plane from there back to Buenos aires to fly back home. That way I save the cost of an international ticket from Brazil to AR.
But before I can get a visa from Brazilian embassy I need to have the bus ticket to show I will be leaving Brazil.
The only bus I will be taking is the one between Iguasu de foz and the Catataras Airport on the ÅR side.
The question is does anyone know where I can by this bus ticket ahead of time SO that I can show proof of departure from the country?
A travel agency that might be able to help?

Hello again,

unfortunately I have to say that in the moment I do not know the answer on this question, never went from Argentina airport to Brazil or back....
but I believe if you have baggage with you it's better to take a taxi!
I think it is not possible to get a bus ticket in advance for this bus, but maybe a local travel agency from Argentina can help you....or a brazilian one???

Please acess following page and see under Services:

Hi !!

Send an email to sales@representour.com I asked and they do transfers between Iguazu airport and brazilian hotels from Foz. Thay also say they can give you a voucher to show to the authorities there so yo can get the visa.

Other that offer online vouchers is Argentina@HotelsArgentina.com also for transfers...

Well, I hope you have good luck with all that..
Sebastian.

thanks evelyn I had already took that very informational web site from another posting you answered and they have sent me some information on bus schedules I needed for travel from Iguazu de foz to Curitiba. Very helpful. I will e-mail them again with more ?'s

thanks sebastian I am going to e-mail and see what kind of information I can find out. I have heard from another of you fellow countryman who went to the embassy for me that I will not need documentation from the Embassy of Brazil in BsA.

Anyone out there ever taken the bus from Iguazu Parqu
airport to Iguazu de Foz city? the hotel wants $14US to transport. Seems expensive. „e will have luggage but just two day packs and two carryone (small) wheeled luggage.

Hi Again !!

Yes... it seems to be expensive, Foz from Iguazu airport is at about 25-30 minutes... It's expensive, but I think it's the average price you'll find for that...

Anyway, have a very good trip, and enjoy Argentina...

Sebastian
