For those of you who are going shopping in Ciudad del Este in Paraguay for the first time, which borders Foz do Iguaçu, we'll give you some transport tips to get there and into the shopping center itself.
From Foz to Ponte da Amizade, access is very easy, there is no difficulty, you can go by your own car, van, taxi or even public transport, which even has international lines, which even cross the bridge.
The route gets a little more complicated from the Bridge, because as you may have already heard, the movement of people coming and going shopping is intense, so be prepared for lots of cars, vans, buses, juggling motorcycle taxis and lots of pedestrians along the way. , not to mention the street vendors offering you different products, food or pamphlets!
The question is, what is the best way to get there?
For those who are on their first trip, we always recommend hiring a private service, which will take you and bring you back with your purchases, wait, we are not saying this just to sell this service! The point is that, unfortunately, not all means of transport are legal, reliable, not to mention how traffic flows from the bridge, take a look at these images:
You can also go by your own car, but considering the images above you might want to think twice before having your car dented, scratched, stuck in traffic or, God forbid, even stolen! Arriving in Vila Portes, the neighborhood closest to the bridge, you will see several parking lots on the way, which is much safer to leave your car. From there you can even cross the bridge on foot if you're willing!
But that won't be a reason to give up on shopping in Paraguay! Either way, go do your shopping!!! Take advantage of border trade to purchase electronics, cosmetics and utilities in general, it's worth it!
Come to Foz do Iguaçu, do your shopping in Paraguay and stay at Tarobá Hotel and discover this and many other wonders! The Tarobá Hotel will certainly be your best hotel option in Foz do Iguaçu, located in the central region, with easy and quick access to Paraguay and Argentina, in addition to, of course, having the best value for money in the Triple Border.
