When to go to Foz do Iguaçu?
You hear Iguaçu long before you see it, a roar carried through the forest paths of the national park where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet. The Brazilian side gives you the panorama, the Argentine side puts you on walkways directly above the water, and both leave you soaked. A short drive away, the concrete bulk of the Itaipu dam gives the measure of the rivers around it.
