Buying reservations in Foz do Iguaçu

this website is has good prices for a lot of stuff:
http://www.destinoiguassu.com.br - including car rentals.
If you don't pick up the car at the airport, you save money. But it also sells packages (passport style) to attractions around Foz. They actually had something that fit my needs!!!!

http://wikitravel.org/en/Foz_do_Igua%C3%A7u has some interesting information in English about Foz.

And to visit and buy tickets for Itaipu, the best bet is to go to their website:
https://www.turismoitaipu.com.br/en
They also give other kinds of information.

renting a car or taking public transportation to Puerto Iguazu

It is so hard to find information about bus from Foz to Puerto Iguazu.

I finally found out that it is necessary to have something called carta verde to drive legally in Argentina (because of so many demands they have on that side).

Avis and Hertz are the safest places to rent if you want to drive to Puerto.

In case you want to take public transportation the bus from Foz is Crucero del Norte, and you catch in across the street from the Hotel Bourbon, and from the Puerto Iguazu bus terminal you catch a buz called El Prático.

If you can read portuguese, this blog is great for little tips on how to visit Puerto Iguazu:
