From the mosque, the road leads into the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, 185,000 hectares of Atlantic Forest protecting the falls themselves. Private cars stop at the entrance; a park shuttle carries visitors in to the Trilha das Cataratas, a paved, railed walkway of a little over a kilometre that unspools one view after another of the 2.7-kilometre curtain of falls before ending at the Garganta do Diabo — the Devil's Throat — where a footbridge pushes out into the spray for the closest possible look, with a panoramic elevator lifting to a second viewpoint above. There's real time in hand here: the trail itself is only a couple of hours at an easy pace, which leaves room for lunch inside the park or, for anyone with an appetite for more, a stop at Parque das Aves next door — a large bird park that's become one of Foz's most popular add-ons, though entirely optional against a day that already has plenty to it.
