360 km Bike Ride Around Iguaçu National Park: Exclusive Launch at Carnival 2026

Get ready to swap the hustle and bustle of city life for an epic adventure in the midst of untouched nature.

The 2026 Carnival will be the stage for the official launch of the 360 km Cycling Tour of Iguassu National Park - Ride Around Iguaçu National Park, an immersive journey into the heart of the Atlantic Forest, divided between the Iguaçu National Parks in Brazil and Argentina.

This 360 km route is not just a tour, but aims to establish itself as the new major destination for cycle tourism in South America, uniting two nations in a unique experience.

It presents itself as an alternative to already established national itineraries, such as the Faith Route in São Paulo and the European Valley Circuit in Santa Catarina, offering a unique combination of physical challenge, natural beauty, and cross-border history.

It's not just a long-distance ride; it's a journey through time and a tribute to preservation!

360 km of Excitement, History, and Preservation

The route is in the final stages of mapping, but Falls Bike Tour believes that this 360 km route will be a transformative experience, filled with the smells, sounds, and flavors of the living Atlantic Forest.

But before detailing the distance and elevation, we need to recognize the historical force that makes this place possible.

Did you know that the existence of Iguaçu National Park, as we know it, is due to the vision of one man?

In 1890, approximately 98% of Paraná was covered by Atlantic Forest. Today, that number has fallen to an alarming 29%.

If the catastrophe was not worse, it is thanks to the Father of Aviation, Santos Dumont.

Nature's Unexpected Hero

When visiting the Falls in 1916, Santos Dumont was shocked to discover that the entire area belonged to a private Uruguayan owner.

His indignation gave rise to the famous phrase:

Seeing ahead of his time, the aeronaut used his fame to pressure the government to expropriate the land where the falls were located.

His action worked: in 1939, the federal government decreed the creation of Iguaçu National Park, a milestone also followed by the Argentine government.

If today we can dream of bringing cyclists from around the world to cycle in this magnificent setting, we owe it to Santos Dumont's sensitivity and dream of preservation.

We thank the ‘Father of Aviation’ for this natural heritage.
