| Paraguay Shopping Tour |
The junction of the Iguacu and Paraná Rivers forms the border between three countries, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The Paraguayan city of Ciudad del Este lies across the Friendship Bridge from the Brazilian city of Foz de Iguacu. Shopping trips to Paraguay are very popular with Brazilians and Argentineans around the Iguacu area as lower taxes make electronic goods, cameras, computers, sportswear and cosmetics far cheaper than anywhere else in the area. Transfers take places from hotels in Brazil across the bridge and the border. The crossing can be very busy, especially towards late afternoon, so the duration of trips is variable.
