The visitors, on their way to the Argentinean Falls, will cross a 480 meters bridge, built in 1985 and known as "The Fraternity Bridge", but its official name is "Presidente Tancredo Neves Bridge", bordering the two friendly countries: Brazil (Foz do Iguassu) and Argentina (Puerto Iguazu).
The Argentinean Falls are located in Iguazú National Park, in the province of Misiones, 28 kilometers away from Foz do Iguaçu and 45 kilometers away from Hotel Tropical das Cataratas.
The side where the bridge was built is about 20km below the Falls and 2 kilometers above the confluence between the rivers Iguassu and Paraná, where the visitors are able to have a beautiful panoramic sight of the Three-Frontier Mark: Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.
The visitors who come to Iguazú National Park will pass by a visitors’ center that has a fine structure, such as restrooms, medical post and demonstrative boards about the biodiversity of the park . From there, they will be taken to two stations by ecological trains (prepared to cause a low environmental impact), with duration of about 20 minutes from each station. The first stop is Cataratas Station, where both Upper and Lower Circuits begin; after finishing them, the next stop is the most important: the Devil’s Throat Station.
At the Argentinean Falls, the visitors will have a very close contact with the falls.
