The Triple Frontier Landmark stands where the Iguaçu River meets the Paraná, the point where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay come together, in a region of more than 900,000 people across its three cities. From here you see two other countries across the water, Puerto Iguazú in Argentina and Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, and each country has a stone obelisk on its bank painted in the colours of its flag. The Brazilian side has been turned into a visitor complex around its obelisk, with viewing decks and restaurants, and in the evening it puts on a show of lights, music and dance about the region's history and cultures, as the three obelisks are lit on their banks. The best time is late afternoon, as the sun sets over the rivers, staying on for the evening show. It is a frankly touristy place, but it makes the geography of a region shared by three countries very clear.
