Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie GrellmannPortuguêsEspañol
In July 2026, the border airports recorded 1,272 arriving flights, with 795 in Foz do Iguaçu (IGU) and 477 in Puerto Iguazú (IGR).
Official data from ANAC (Brazil) and the Argentine ANAC show that, in July 2026, 1,272 flights landed at the two airports serving the Triple Frontier. Of these, 795 were at Foz do Iguaçu (IGU) and 477 at Puerto Iguazú (IGR), transporting 72,531 passengers on the Argentine side.
The ratio indicates that the Brazilian airport received 1.7 times more flights than the Argentine one, highlighting that the majority of tourist air traffic arrives via the Brazilian side. This high volume usually generates greater activity in arrival areas, such as downtown Foz, the bus terminal, and transportation options to the Falls and other attractions.
For those planning to visit the region, it is important to consider that the large number of flights can mean longer lines for shuttle services, car rentals, and public transport. It is recommended to check transportation conditions on the day of travel, especially if you intend to take the line 120 bus to the Falls or use transfer services.
What this means for you: the Brazilian side is busier; if you want to avoid crowds, arrive early at IGU airport, book your shuttle in advance, and check the transport status at /cataratas-hoje before heading to the attractions.
