In the border heat, where to get good ice cream, gelato and açaí
Foz do Iguaçu is often hot, and ice cream hits the spot on any outing. The city has ice cream shops, artisan gelaterias and açaí spots Downtown and along Avenida das Cataratas. See where to look and what to order.
Direct answer: In the Foz do Iguaçu heat, ice cream is almost a must. You'll find ice cream shops, artisan gelaterias and açaí spots Downtown and along Avenida das Cataratas, many open into the evening. Order tropical flavors and artisan gelato; on a strong sunny day, a cold açaí also cools you down. Pair it with a walk around town.
Where to look
Options cluster Downtown and along Avenida das Cataratas (the hotels-and-attractions route). From chain ice cream to artisan gelato.
What to order
Try tropical flavors and artisan gelato. Açaí is a good choice in the heat. Many spots open at night, great after dinner.
Make the most of it
Fit ice cream into your day; see where to eat in Foz and, for hot days, when to go. Drink water and wear sunscreen.
