- The Tri-Country Marker (El Hito) — the actual triangular monument and flag display that marks the exact point where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil meet. It’s the obvious photo op and the physical symbol of three countries rubbing shoulders.
- Panoramic Mirador / Riverside Terrace — a raised viewpoint along the costanera that gives wide, walkable views over the Paraná. Fantastic for framing the junction of rivers and for spotting river traffic and border towns across the water.
- Confluence of the Paraná and Iguazú Rivers — watching two major rivers come together is quietly hypnotic. You can see currents, boats, and the practical geography that decided borders and trade routes long before modern roads.
- Cross-border Sightlines — from the Paraguayan side you can clearly see Puerto Iguazú (Argentina)

- Cross-border Sightlines — from the Paraguayan side you can clearly see Puerto Iguazú (Argentina) and Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil). It’s a neat reminder that three very different cities and cultures meet here within a few hundred metres.
- Local Food Stalls and Crafts — small vendors line the promenade selling chipa, yerba mate, handmade crafts and cheap souvenirs. It’s cheap, local, and an easy way to taste Paraguayan snacks and support artisans.
- Sunset & Night Lights — the place changes character at dusk: sunsets over the rivers, then the monument and flags are lit up. It’s relaxed, photogenic, and popular with locals on evening strolls.
- River Activities and Boat Glimpses — you’ll see fishermen, cargo and tourist boats cruising by, and sometimes short boat rides or crossing options nearby if you want to get closer to the actual meeting point from the water.
