Private transfer Puerto Iguazú – Curitiba

Between Puerto Iguazú and Curitiba there is essentially one road: the BR-277 highway, which crosses the state of Paraná from end to end, from the border to the state capital. The transfer starts with the crossing to Foz do Iguaçu over the Tancredo Neves bridge and then stays on that highway all day. Its availability and conditions are confirmed at booking.

Who makes this trip

• People travelling for work between Misiones and the capital of Paraná.
• Passengers with a flight or a bus leaving from Curitiba.
• Tourists who continue to the coast after the Falls.
• Families and groups who prefer to go together, with their luggage, and stop when they like.

There are flights and buses between Foz do Iguaçu and Curitiba. For a single traveller the plane is usually quicker.

What the road is like

BR-277 passes Cascavel and Guarapuava, alternates single and dual carriageway and carries a lot of trucks. It is farmland and low hills, with towns set well apart. Meal stops are agreed before leaving. Brazilian highways have tolls: the quote makes clear how they are handled.

Departure time

Because the border comes first, an early start is wise: the wait at the bridge changes with the day and the hour, and we do not promise a crossing time. Leaving in the morning, most of the road is driven in daylight.

Where it ends

Tell us whether you are going to the city centre, a hotel or Afonso Pena airport, which is outside the city, in São José dos Pinhais. If you have a flight, leave a wide margin.

Documents

Each passenger carries a valid travel document. Which one is accepted depends on nationality, so check with the migration authority of Argentina and of Brazil before travelling. Minors without both parents usually need an authorisation.
