The experience

You start at your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu and travel by private air-conditioned vehicle to four religious sites that reflect the city's cosmopolitan makeup. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Mosque of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab anchor the tour, each visited for roughly 30 minutes, with a longer stop at the Buddhist Temple. The guide narrates the cultural significance of each site as you move through the city.

The tour climaxes at the Three Borders Landmark, where the Iguassu and Paraná rivers separate Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. You arrive as the sun begins to set, and the guide times the visit so you watch the sky shift through orange, red and pink. From there, you board the Yup Star Ferris Wheel (88 meters tall with 36 air-conditioned cabins holding eight people each) for a 20-minute rotation that frames the three-country view from above. When the wheel descends and the tour ends, your guide returns you to your hotel.

The private format means no fixed departure time and no waiting for other travelers. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese, and the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Children from age one are welcome, and infant seats are available if needed.
