Direct answer: In 2027, Brazil has 14 national holidays, Argentina 16 and Paraguay 12. The ones that most fill the Triple Frontier are Carnival (February 8 and 9), Holy Week (Good Friday on March 26) and year-end. A holiday in any of the three countries already crowds the bridges and attractions.

Plan your trip to Foz do Iguaçu, Puerto Iguazú and Ciudad del Este knowing when each country stops. A holiday on just one side already fills the bridge, the Falls and the shops, because the neighbor crosses the border.

The long weekends that fill the border in 2027

  • Carnival, February 8 and 9 (Monday and Tuesday): Brazil and Argentina stop together, long weekend from Saturday to Tuesday. Bridges and the Falls full.
  • Holy Week, Good Friday on March 26: holiday in all three countries (Paraguay adds Thursday, March 25). One of the busiest weekends of the year.
  • Corpus Christi, May 27 (Thursday, Brazil): usually turns into a long weekend with Friday added.
  • July 9 (Friday, Argentina): Argentine Independence in the middle of winter holidays; many Argentines cross to Foz.
  • October 11 and 12: Argentina (Oct 11) and Brazil (Oct 12) almost together, long weekend on both sides.
  • Christmas and New Year’s Day: December 25 and January 1 stop all three countries.
