Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie Grellmann
In June 2026, 727 flights landed in Foz do Iguaçu, almost double the 349 that arrived in Puerto Iguazú, totaling 1,076 arrivals at the border.
Official data from ANAC (Brazil) and ANAC Argentina show that in June 2026 the two airports of the triple border received a combined 1,076 arriving flights. Of these, 727 landed in Foz do Iguaçu (code IGU) and 349 in Puerto Iguazú (code IGR), carrying 48,823 passengers on the Argentine side.
This volume represents 2.1 times more flights at the Brazilian airport than at the Argentine one, indicating that most international tourism arrives via the Brazilian side. For those planning to visit the Falls, the Bird Park, the Itaipu complex, or enjoy the local cuisine, starting the trip in Foz do Iguaçu is usually the most practical option.
The difference in flights can influence choices of lodging, transportation, and even the best time to cross the Friendship Bridge. Arriving in Foz provides direct access to bus lines, taxis, and ride-hailing apps that connect to the city center and main attractions, while those landing in Puerto Iguazú must consider a transfer to the border or use shuttle services.
What this means for you: if you intend to visit the Triple Frontier, prioritize flights that arrive in Foz do Iguaçu to reduce travel time and make the most of your itinerary. Check local transport availability and, if you choose Puerto Iguazú, plan the transfer in advance to avoid losing time.
