Transfer Service Route
Save time and money by transfering to the Foz do Iguacu Airport directly after your visit to the Argentina side of the falls, which eliminates the need to go back to your hotel in Foz do Iguacu. This service is ideal if you have time to visit the falls on the Argentine side of the falls before your flight departs.
Private transfers are the best way to maintain social distancing while travelling. Vehicles are kept hygienically clean, and drivers are trained in pandemic protocols. The health of the drivers is monitored daily.
You don’t speak Portuguese or Spanish, no problem! Your driver will know where you are going a head of time, and will know exactly how to get you across the border quicky and with the least amount of stress on you.
Leave your luggage in the vehicle with the driver while you visit the falls!
You will be guided through the border on the Brazilian side and the Argentine side by your driver, then again in reverse on the way back. Your driver will take you to where you need to go to do the border procedures, eliminating the guesswork involved when crossing international borders.
Our vehicles use a special lane at the Argentine border, making the crossing faster than possible for the general public. This is important when you must pass immigration 4 times in one day.
Your driver will collect you from your Foz do Iguacu hotel, hostel, or Airbnb and drive you to the border where you will be guided through the processes involved with the Brazilian passport control, and then the Argentine passport control. After finalizing immigration, you will continue to the entrance of the Argentine side of the falls where you explore on your own. At a designated time you will meet your driver again for the return trip to Brazil, stopping at both immigration controls again. Your final stop will be the Foz do Iguacu IGU airport.
