What to do in the cold? Places to visit
Foz do Iguaçu is incredible in any season of the year, but in the cold the city is even better! So come here and we'll show you what to do in the cold, besides, of course, visiting the delicious Cataract.
Landmark of the Three Borders
O Landmark of the Three Borders It is one of the most charming places in Foz do Iguaçu.
It is a frequently visited place due to the historical value it contains in the region. The architecture of the place is inspired by the Jesuit missions and everything there culturally transports you to that time.
During the period of colonization in Brazil, Jesuit priests carried out evangelization work for the indigenous people who inhabited the regions of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.
At that time, the indigenous people built large buildings, which were later demolished by the Portuguese and bandeirantes. Most of these ruins can now be found in the Marco das Três Fronteiras, some also spread across Paraguay and Argentina.
Marco brings many visitors to Foz do Iguaçu and the border, for this reason, it was recently renovated and today has a restaurant, square, shop and even a children's area.
If you want to visit Marco, it's good to remember that due to Covid-19, the borders with Argentina are closed. Even so, the one in Foz do Iguaçu is also very rich and beautiful.
Marco is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 15pm to 21pm. Ticket prices start at R$33,00.

Bird Park
Being the second most visited place in Foz do Iguaçu, this charming tour could not fail to appear on our list.
O Bird Park Today, it is the only institution in the world focused exclusively on conserving the predominant birds of the Atlantic Forest.
They protect endangered species and even care for birds rescued from the hands of wildlife trafficking. Some are even returned to nature, of course, when there is a possibility of doing so.
There are more than 130 species of birds that are cared for by the place.
Their work is amazing, don't you think? And the park also promotes a unique experience of immersion and connection with nature, as many of these birds roam free around the place.
In addition, the park has a butterfly garden and a reptile area, with species such as snakes and alligators.
It's a great tip on what to do in the cold, not to mention it makes for lots of cute photos with the toucans.
Parque das Aves opens from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9am to 16pm and is operating at 30% capacity, due to municipal decree. The tour requires prior booking and ticket prices are around R$60,00.
