In-Depth Information
Neither Puerto Iguazú nor Foz do Iguaçú has
truly outstanding restaurants. If your hotel has
a restaurant, you may do just as well there.
However, there are a few worthwhile options on
both sides of the border. In Puerto Iguazú,
El
Tío Querido
, Pto. Moreno 345,
El Quincho
del Tio Querido
, Bompland and Perito
Moreno, and the more economical
Chaco
,
Córdoba 106, feature grilled meats
(
parrillada)
.
La Rueda
, at the intersection of
Avenida Aguirre and Córdoba, is a reasonably
priced choice for pasta. For authentic
churrasco,
the Brazilian counterpart of the
Argentinean
parrillada
, try
Churrasquería
Buffalo Branco
at Rua Rebouças 530, or
Churrasquería Rafahin Campestre
, in Foz
do Iguaçú. Another fine choice on the Brazilian
side of the falls is the
Galeteria La Mama
,
Avenida das Cataratas 1301, a popular all-you-
can-eat restaurant which specializes in pasta
and
galeto
, spit-roasted chicken.
Getting to the Falls
Several local tour operators offer trips to the
falls, but there is no reason why you can't han-
dle it on your own. Getting there is easy from
both sides of the border. If you've rented a car,
follow Route 12 to the falls if you're in Argen-
tina, or the Estrada das Cataratas if you're in
Brazil. Both lead to the entrance of the park.
Otherwise, there is bus service on both sides of
the falls and your hotel will be able to provide
you with an up-to-date schedule and rates.
