No idea...might have attracted the Buenos Aires poser brigade when it was a cheaper place to visit during the Arg peso–US$ parity times.

Indeed....Foz do Iguacu. It's been over ten years since I was up there...the falls were of course spectacular but the town was the exact opposite. To be fair it was just a village before thousands of workers arrived to build the Itaipu dam and made the town into what it is now.....a bit of a dump.

I just don't fancy Sao Paulo and given a choice I would plump for Rio. I'm sure our forum Brasil partygoer Leisurefirst will be along at some point to give his expert view on the pros and cons of both cities.
