Extended schedule includes extra sunrise and sunset sessions
Iguazu National Park in Foz do Iguazu, Brazil, operates with extended hours from July 11-26, opening at 8 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. The facility also offers extra sunrise and sunset viewing sessions on July 22 and 29.
During July vacation, the park expands its programming due to visitor flow. The early opening is valid from July 11-26.
In addition to regular dates (Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), the sunset experience will also be offered on Wednesdays, July 22 and 29, with last boarding at 5 p.m. On July 29, there is an extra sunrise edition at the Waterfalls with single boarding at 6 a.m. and breakfast included.
Both experiences (sunrise and sunset) operate in any weather conditions and have limited participant capacity. Admission guarantees access to the park throughout the day and exclusive stay after regular visiting hours end.
The park recommends advance ticket purchase on the official website. In addition to extended hour experiences, the facility offers the São João Circuit, Waterfalls Bike Path, Usina Space, and revitalized trails. Two new restaurants — Cocar (300 seats) and Canoas Mirim (120 seats) — operate on site. On Saturdays, local artisans and producers sell their work.
Iguazu National Park is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) and recognized as a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
