🇬🇧 Foz do Iguaçu, a spectacle of water and colors
Foz do Iguaçu, un spectacle d’eau et de couleurs 🇫🇷
🇪🇸 Foz de Iguazú, un espectáculo de agua y de colores
🇬🇧 Since my post about the Iguazú Falls in which I only covered the Argentine side, I’ve had the feeling that I committed a small injustice by not presenting the Brazilian side. An injustice I will correct today. Although the Brazilian side offers fewer walking options and fewer opportunities to get close to the water, it provides a much more complete view of the falls, almost a panoramic vision, one could say. A huge parking area has been built far from the site, and shuttle buses handle the transfers. It’s well organised and seems to be an efficient way to protect the area while keeping the visit pleasant. I’m also taking this opportunity to mention a bird park located not far from the parking area, just across the road, which I highly recommend. It can easily be visited on the same day as the falls.
🇫🇷 Depuis mon post sur les chutes d’Iguazú dans lequel je n’avais traité que le côté argentin, j’ai eu la sensation d’avoir commis une petite injustice en ne présentant pas le côté brésilien. Injustice que je répare aujourd’hui. Si le côté brésilien offre moins de possibilités de promenade et d’approche de l’eau, il permet une vue bien plus complète sur les chutes, une sorte de vision panoramique pour ainsi dire. Un immense parking a été construit à distance du site et des bus-navettes assurent les allers-retours. C’est bien organisé, une solution qui semble efficace pour protéger l’endroit tout en rendant la visite agréable. J’en profite pour parler d’un parc d’oiseaux situé non loin du parking, juste de l’autre côté de la route, que je recommande vivement. Il peut être visité le même jour que les chutes.
🇪🇸 Desde mi publicación sobre las cataratas de Iguazú en la que solo había tratado el lado argentino, he tenido la sensación de haber cometido una pequeña injusticia al no presentar el lado brasileño. Injusticia que hoy vengo a reparar. Aunque el lado brasileño ofrece menos posibilidades de caminatas y menos acercamiento al agua, permite una vista mucho más completa de las cataratas, casi una visión panorámica. Se ha construido un enorme aparcamiento lejos del sitio y unos autobuses lanzadera realizan los traslados. Está bien organizado y parece una buena solución para proteger el lugar y mantener una visita agradable. Aprovecho también para mencionar un parque de aves que se encuentra cerca del aparcamiento, justo al otro lado de la carretera, y que recomiendo muchísimo. Puede visitarse el mismo día que las cataratas.
🇬🇧 After about fifteen minutes on the bus through dense tropical forest, you reach the starting point of the panoramic trail, which offers impressive views of the falls and leads to the large walkway extending toward the base of Iguaçu’s most spectacular section: the Devil’s Throat. On this side, the national park provides an exceptional overview,the best vantage point to appreciate the immensity of the site, with more than 275 waterfalls spread across nearly three kilometres. The path is very accessible, dotted with viewpoints ideal for photographing the cascades from different angles. You may also encounter coatis, colourful butterflies, and many tropical birds. I strongly recommend walking beforehand around the parking area: it is quieter, less crowded, and home to abundant wildlife, including the iconic toucans that, I believe, one never tires of observing.
🇫🇷 Après une quinzaine de minutes de bus à travers une forêt tropicale dense, on arrive au point de départ du sentier panoramique qui permet d’observer les chutes et mène jusqu’à la grande passerelle avancée au pied de la partie la plus spectaculaire d’Iguaçu : la Gorge du Diable. De ce côté, le parc national offre une vue d’ensemble exceptionnelle, le meilleur point de vue pour apprécier l’immensité du site, avec plus de 275 chutes réparties sur près de trois kilomètres. Le sentier est très accessible, ponctué de belvédères parfaits pour photographier les cascades sous différents angles. On y croise aussi des coatis, des papillons colorés et une grande diversité d’oiseaux tropicaux. Je recommande vivement de se promener auparavant autour de la zone du parking : c’est plus calme, moins fréquenté, et l’on peut y observer beaucoup de faune, notamment les fameux toucans dont, je crois, on ne se lasse jamais.
🇪🇸 Tras unos quince minutos en autobús, atravesando un paisaje de selva tropical densa, se llega al inicio del sendero panorámico que permite observar las cataratas y conduce hasta la gran pasarela que avanza hacia la base de la parte más espectacular de Iguazú: la Garganta del Diablo. En este lado, el parque nacional ofrece una vista general excepcional, el mejor punto para apreciar la inmensidad del lugar, con más de 275 saltos repartidos a lo largo de casi tres kilómetros. El sendero es muy accesible y está salpicado de miradores que permiten fotografiar las cascadas desde distintos ángulos. También se pueden ver coatíes, mariposas de colores y numerosas aves tropicales. Recomiendo encarecidamente pasear antes por la zona del aparcamiento: es más tranquilo, menos concurrido y permite observar mucha fauna, especialmente los célebres tucanes, de los que, creo, nadie se cansa.
🇬🇧 The Bird Park, located just across from the entrance to the falls, is an unmissable visit for nature lovers. More than a simple zoo, it is an important conservation centre dedicated to the birds of the Atlantic Forest, including many threatened species. The visit follows a shaded path through huge immersive aviaries where you can observe toucans, multicoloured macaws, ibises, Amazon parrots and many other local species up close. The park also hosts butterflies, reptiles and a few rescued mammals. The atmosphere is peaceful, almost magical, offering an intimate approach to Brazilian biodiversity — a perfect complement to the falls and an equally fascinating immersion in the natural richness of Iguazú.
🇫🇷 Le Parc des Oiseaux, situé juste en face de l’entrée des chutes, est une visite incontournable pour les amoureux de nature. Plus qu’un simple zoo, c’est un centre de conservation important dédié aux oiseaux de la forêt atlantique, dont de nombreuses espèces menacées. La visite se fait le long d’un sentier ombragé traversant d’immenses volières immersives où l’on peut observer de très près toucans, aras multicolores, ibis, perroquets amazones et bien d’autres espèces locales. Le parc abrite également des papillons, des reptiles et quelques mammifères recueillis. L’ambiance y est paisible, presque magique, offrant une approche intime de la biodiversité brésilienne — un complément parfait à la visite des chutes, et une immersion tout aussi fascinante dans la richesse naturelle d’Iguaçu.
🇪🇸 El Parque de las Aves, situado justo frente a la entrada de las cataratas, es una visita imprescindible para los amantes de la naturaleza. Más que un simple zoológico, es un importante centro de conservación dedicado a las aves de la selva atlántica, incluidas muchas especies amenazadas. El recorrido transcurre por un sendero sombreado que atraviesa enormes aviarios inmersivos donde se pueden observar de cerca tucanes, guacamayos multicolores, ibis, loros amazónicos y muchas otras especies locales. El parque también alberga mariposas, reptiles y algunos mamíferos rescatados. El ambiente es tranquilo, casi mágico, ofreciendo un contacto íntimo con la biodiversidad brasileña — un complemento perfecto a la visita de las cataratas y una inmersión igualmente fascinante en la riqueza natural de Iguazú.
🇬🇧 My little injustice toward the Brazilian side is now repaired. I hope this post will inspire you to discover, or rediscover, this exceptional site.
