Iguazu National Park, in Foz do Iguaçu (PR), will operate with extended hours from September 5 to 7 for the long Independence holiday. The unit expects to receive about 25,000 visitors during the period.
The park will open at 8 a.m. on all three days, ahead of the regular schedule. Among the highlights is Sunrise at the Falls, which will have an extra session on Sunday (the 6th), allowing guests to admire the natural landscape in the early morning hours with breakfast included, before the conventional opening.
Other special-time experiences will also be available, such as Sunset at the Falls and the astrotourism activity Sky of the Falls, expanding stay options at the destination.
The program includes live musical performances at the Porto Canoas Space and the Visitor Center over the weekend. On Saturdays, local artisans and producers will display and sell products, connecting visitors to regional gastronomy, culture, and production.
The park recommends arriving at the first opening time (8 a.m.), when traffic tends to be lighter. Purchasing tickets in advance through the website cataratasdoiguacu.com.br eases access during the peak period.
Iguazu National Park is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), with visitation management by the concessionaire Urbia+Cataratas. Recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, it ranks among Latin America’s top attractions according to TripAdvisor Best of the Best 2026.
