Cataratas Day draws 6,000 visitors in Foz do Iguaçu

On November 11, 2026, Parque Nacional do Iguaçu in Foz do Iguaçu opened its gates at 8 a.m. for Cataratas Day, which attracted over 6,000 visitors. Activities included a yoga class on the first overlook of the Trail of the Waterfalls, held under an estimated flow of about 5 million liters of water per second. Photo placards were provided at the main overlooks, and an interactive panel streamed live images of visitors on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, allowing the exchange of souvenirs between officials of the two countries.

At the Visitor Center, the concessionaire Urbia+Cataratas organized a job fair, recording more than 300 registrations and interviews, as well as a market featuring 20 local producers. Admission was free for residents of the 14 municipalities surrounding the park.

According to Mario Macedo Junior, CEO of Urbia+Cataratas, the designation as a World Natural Wonder has reinforced conservation importance and sustained a steady flow of foreign tourists over the past 15 years.
