Before you book

Mondays
The Marco das Três Fronteiras opens Tuesday to Sunday, from the afternoon. On a Monday we finish after lunch, or add something you choose.
Itaipu
Panoramic visits run every day from 08:15, about every half hour. Drones are not allowed. The buses are open at the sides, so bring a raincoat on wet days.
Sunset
The Marco stays open into the evening and has a show at dusk. Tell us if you want to stay on, and we will price the extra time.
Start time
Starts at 07:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.
Language
Guided in English. Other languages on request, if we have notice.
Cancellation
Free up to 24 hours before, refunded in full.

Itaipu also runs longer technical visits. Tell us when you book and we will plan the morning around one.

Not well. The falls need half a day of their own. Our other Foz tours cover them.

Two vehicles travelling together, on one booking. Message us and we will price it.
