What it is
Inaugurated at the end of 2025, AquaFoz is described by the group as one of the largest aquariums in South America, with more than 3.3 million liters of water and over 300 freshwater and marine species, in a journey that goes from the Iguaçu and Paraná rivers to the ocean. It is located on the same axis as the Falls, making it easy to combine the two visits.
