The carnival, celebrated as a profane event and believed to have its origins in the pagan Saturnalia, can thus be considered an act of farewell to the pleasures of the flesh. Brazilian Carnival as a whole exhibits some differences with its counterparts in Europe and other parts of the world, and within Brazil it has distinct regional manifestations. Brazilian citizens used to riot until the Carnival was accepted by the government as an expression of culture. That was because the Brazilian carnival had its origin in a Portuguese festivity called “entrudo”.This tropical paradise is alive with mad passion in every walk of life. Axe (achay) means energy in Brazil and nowhere else is the heart-pounding, rhythmic energy more evident… Whether its an impromptu capoeira roda on a street corner, bursting with music, excitement and the typical Brasilian lust for life… or the sound of loud raucous laughter between two acquaintances over ice cold beer in local open sided bars… Brazil-Foz do Iguacu has it all!

Travel from Puerto Iguazu (Argentina) to Foz do Iguacu (Brazil): We did the Iguazu /Foz journey twice last Novemeber. Not to the airport but once to go into Foz town and the other to see the Brazilian side of the falls. It is straightforward enough just to get a bus from the main bus station in the centre of Puerto Iguazu to the immigration post border and then change buses for Foz. The bus will drop you at the station in the centre of Foz where I guess there will be buses to the airport if not taxis are plentiful. The drivers on the buses to the border seemd very helpful.

Alternatively, you could get a taxi from Iguazu all the way to the airport which may be bettere if you have lots of luggae or there is more than one of you.
