Foz do Iguaçu, Border city in Paraná, Brazil.

Foz do Iguaçu extends across 617 square kilometers at an elevation of 164 meters, with numerous neighborhoods connected by Avenida Brasil.

The military outpost established in 1889 transformed into a municipality in 1914, leading to substantial development through immigration and trade.

The population includes communities from 80 different nationalities, creating a multicultural environment with Arab, Chinese, and Italian influences.

The city serves as an entry point to Iguaçu Falls and operates an international airport connecting Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.
