| Has anyone had experience with taking a train or bus from Rio de Janeiro to Iguassu Falls? I am considering this as a way to "see the countryside" on the way to the Falls rather than flying. If such a service is available, what company should I contact? I have so far been unsuccessful in finding information online about this. Thanks. |

| Hi All, You've asked a good question. Here's the first response but I would expect more to follow. Eucatur does offer bus transportation on from Rio to Iguassu Falls. This site is hard to navigate but it will get you there. http://redeastor.viacaogarcia.com.br/ I personally flew into Iguassu Falls since distances in Brazil are so vast. My best guess is that the distance would be approx 1000-1200 kilometers. Last edited by d360; 08-30-2006 at 01:26 PM. |

From Rio to Iguassu Falls will cost approximately USD $75.00. There are no sleeper busses - only executive busses. Travel time approx 22 hours. Where do buses depart in Rio de Janeiro? In Rio you will depart from the Novo-Rio Terminal Rodoviario (Bus station) - it also has connection shuttles from and to GIG - Congonhas airport and SDU - Santos Dumont Airport.
