Foz do Iguaçu is also home to a very large Arab community -- you can hear it spoken in the streets and coming from TVs and radios in shops.

You should try to see Iguaçu Falls from the Brazilian side and the Argentinian side. The boat tour is well worth it. Don't bother wearing a poncho- you'll get soaked regardless.
