There are many reasons to build a life in Foz do Iguaçu, but today VRV brought 5 important points to be considered.
Nature

In the park, it is possible to maintain direct and safe contact with the rich fauna and flora. There are also spaces dedicated to physical exercise, ideal for hiking, trails, stretching, and other different ways to awaken the body’s health and well-being.
Culture
Foz do Iguaçu is plural, filled to the brim with culture and various forms of artistic and cultural expression. Much of all this arose (and still arises) thanks to the fact that the city has borders with Argentina and Paraguay, and has a history of Syrian and Lebanese immigration. This mixture originated a gigantic range of options capable of pleasing even the most demanding of tastes.
The Muslim Mosque is a great highlight of the city, for it emphatically and faithfully presents the culture of the immigrants from the Middle East. There is also the Three Borders Landmark, sought after by all the people who set foot in the region and seek entertainment with cultural attractions, such as dance, music, art, cuisine, and folklore, among others.
