Getting to the start

Map

IC card

Ciudad del Este has no subway or commuter rail system. Local urban buses exist but are cash-only in guaraníes with no rechargeable card; ride-hail coverage is limited compared to bigger cities, so taxis are the most reliable option for foreign visitors.

Some 21K races based in Ciudad del Este are cross-border tri-border events passing through Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil and/or Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, which would require carrying a passport - but this could not be confirmed as the case for this specific listing.

READY TO RUN
