Does Uber work in the Triple Frontier? What works and what doesn't
In Foz yes; crossing the border by app, no
Uber and 99 work normally in Foz do Iguaçu, but they can't cross the borders with Argentina and Paraguay. In Puerto Iguazú, the service faces local restrictions. The strategy that works: take an app to the border, cross on foot, and continue with local transport on the other side.
In Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil): Uber and 99 operate normally, including the airport, the Falls, and attractions. Prices are generally below the taxi fare.
Crossing the border by app: no. The apps don't cross international borders — the Brazilian driver can't take you to Puerto Iguazú or Ciudad del Este.
In Puerto Iguazú (Argentina): the local government restricts the operation of apps — don't count on Uber there; local taxis and remises serve the city.
In Ciudad del Este (Paraguay): local transport runs on taxis and motorcycle taxis, common on both sides of the customs checkpoint.
The strategy that works:
- Uber/99 to the head of the bridge (Tancredo Neves for Argentina, Friendship Bridge for Paraguay)
- Cross on foot (both bridges have a pedestrian walkway)
- Continue with a taxi, motorcycle taxi, or local bus on the other side
Or simply use the international buses that leave from the TTU, in downtown Foz.
