Routes and infrastructure

  • BR-277 connects Curitiba to western Paraná, passing through Guarapuava, Cascavel and reaching Foz do Iguaçu, and is one of the main arteries for motorcyclists.
  • A suggested itinerary links Guaíra, Salto del Guairá, Katueté, Ciudad del Este and Foz do Iguaçu, covering about 1,100 kilometers in roughly three days, according to a report published in September 2026 by the Estrada a Dois project. The route uses sections of BR-163, BR-277 and the Paraguayan highways PY03 and PY07.

Biker Route

  • The initiative gathers monuments installed at establishments that host motorcyclists. In Foz do Iguaçu, monument 32 is located at the Hell’s Dogs Motorcycle Bar.
  • In Paraguay, monument 30 is at the Drei Schritte Restô Bar in Katueté.
  • The Biker Route map lets you view all points and plan the trip; it is recommended to confirm opening hours and service availability at the establishments before visiting.

Required documentation

  • Personal documents accepted at the Argentine and Paraguayan borders: a valid, good-condition RG or a passport.
  • Physical National Driver’s License, valid and appropriate for the motorcycle; the digital CNH is not accepted.
  • Official motorcycle documentation must be presented to prove authorization for use abroad.

Green Card insurance

  • The Green Card insurance is mandatory for Brazilian vehicles entering Argentina or Paraguay. It covers civil liability for third-party damages according to the policy terms, but does not cover damage to the motorcycle itself nor the rider’s medical expenses.

Practical planning

  • Check for motorcycle parking at accommodations and assess safety and access conditions.
  • Identify repair shops and fuel stations along the route for possible breakdowns.
  • Allow extra time for possible queues at international bridges.
  • Carry offline maps and check the weather forecast and road conditions before starting the trip.
