"Visit Sleepy Puerto Iguazu" Top 5 Page for this destination Foz do Iguaçu Things to Do Tip by Bwana_Brown

We had already spent a few days in the megacity of Buenos Aires, so we were quite happy to have the sleepy little town of Puerto Iguazu, Argentina as our base for the Iguazu Falls portion of our trip.

It turned out to be a quiet and friendly place with plenty of good restaurants. The relaxed pace was a nice change for a few days, and we could see that Foz was much more city-like with it's traffic and size.

The bottom line is, both places are probably good bets for accommodations, with many more nightlife choices available in Foz. In Puerto Iguazu, we spent one evening at a sidewalk seating restaurant watching the activity of the locals on the street as they made their own fun! See my 'Puerto Iguazu' page for more details on this town.

This photo was taken at a small memorial in Puerto Iguazu where the Rio Iguazu runs into the larger Rio Parana. It was here in 1541 that the first Europeans, from Spain, stumbled upon the Iguazu while headed overland to Paraguay.
