3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: Portuguese and 1 more

Start at Mercado Público Barrageiro in Vila A, one of Foz do Iguaçu’s newest public markets, and begin a relaxed tasting journey through its boxes, where regional products, Brazilian comfort food, Italian-inspired sandwiches, Arab sweets, family-farm goods, desserts, and drinks all sit side by side.
Move from savory to sweet with your local guide, tasting the city one stop at a time and hearing how Foz do Iguaçu’s borderland identity shapes what appears on the plate.
End with a final dessert or drink stop and leave with a clearer sense of how Foz eats at the crossroads of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.

Mercado Público Barrageiro works especially well for this food crawl, it brings several different food identities into one walkable market: regional products, Brazilian comfort food, multicultural flavors and drinks.
That lets our guide move guests box by box through a compact, varied tasting route while telling the story of Foz do Iguaçu as a border city shaped by many influences.
