Brazilian falls without a visa. You'll have to catch the Foz do Iguaçu-bound bus, not
the one that goes direct to the Brazilian falls. Argentine officials will stamp you out;
stay on the bus when it passes Brazilian immigration and don't blame us if you're
out of luck that day and get sent back. Remiseand taxi drivers can usually get you
through without immigration formalities too.
