Facilities for those traveling alone
Curiosity and desire for everything new seems to be intrinsic to human beings, always searching for more and aiming to surpass their limits and horizons.
Today, thanks to technology, we can travel to distant destinations in a short time, reaching places that were previously impossible or extremely difficult.
Today everything is easier, with the advancement of technology, we can solve simple doubts or solve problems with a simple touch.
And, with tips from the Tarobá Hotel – the best 3-star hotel in the triple border, your only difficulty will be deciding which destination to go to.
But if you haven't visited Foz do Iguaçu yet, we recommend putting our city at the top of the list.
•Packing your bags
Every trip requires planning, knowing where you are going to stay, the weather, travel and stay time, hotel, etc.
But the most fundamental thing is to know what you are going to carry, especially if you are traveling alone.
After all, no one will help you carry your bags, so only take with you what you need, such as:
- hygiene and bath materials,
- a towel,
- two pants,
- two shorts,
- 4 t-shirts,
- underwear and socks, blouse,
- a pair of flip-flops and sneakers.
With a suitcase like this, there's plenty of space to carry some essential utensils for certain destinations.
•Advance reservations
Knowing where to stay is as important as knowing where you are going.
Large cities and tourist destinations tend to be full or crowded most of the time, as is the case of Foz do Iguaçu.
Therefore, booking in advance, in addition to guaranteeing your stay with comfort and quality, can also save you a lot of money.
As there are usually excellent discounts on flights and hotels for those who book well in advance.
•Applications
A cell phone is a fundamental tool for anyone traveling alone.
Whether for work, personal use or traveling, the ease and practicality of smartphones make everything simpler in different situations.
That's why Tarobá Hotel selected a list of the apps most used by solo travelers that make it easier to hit the road.
Pocket:
It's an application that allows you to store internet links to view in the future, even offline.

Tinder:

A dedicated application was created for this type of use, Tripr, although little known, it is a reference among travelers.
Tripadvisor:
Infallible! The application is similar to a collaborative tourist guide, where the user provides their opinion about the place they stayed, such as hotels and hostels, sightseeing tours, clubs and restaurants.
A great quality of this app is that users can also upload photos of the places they have visited, allowing travelers to get to know the destination they are going to even better.
WiFi Finder:
The name itself says it all. The application searches for Wi-Fi networks in the nearest networks, separating free networks from those with a password, indicating which has the best signal.
In some cases, it even reveals the password for private networks.
XE Currency:
The most used currency converter application in the world.
With this app you can convert any currency and precious metal in the world, where exchange rate updates are made every 1 minute.
It is essential for international travel or border destinations.
