Iguazu Falls (Cataratas do Iguaçu) will host Cataratas Day in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, on 11 November 2026. The event marks 15 years since the waterfalls received recognition as one of the New7Wonders of Nature.
Cataratas Day brings a community programme to the park
Cataratas Day is scheduled for Wednesday, 11 November, at Iguazu National Park. The programme is organised by the park and Urbia+Cataratas, the concessionaire responsible for tourist visitation, with support from Foz do Iguacu's tourism authorities and Visit Iguassu.
The operator's notice says the day's activities will centre on the visitor centre. A job fair will be run by the Urbia+Cataratas human resources team, while local producers will present their goods at a market. The programme links the public celebration to the park's role as a managed visitor site rather than treating the anniversary as a standalone date. The operator's Cataratas Day notice gives the event's date, venue and programme.
The event's announced visitor service runs from 8am to 4pm on 11 November. The notice also records that the celebration is intended to connect the park with communities in the surrounding municipalities.
Iguazu Falls links the event to its protected status
The 11 November programme recalls the recognition awarded on 11 November 2011, when Iguazu Falls was named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. That anniversary is part of a named public programme, with activities at the national park and a clear date for visitors.
Iguazu National Park is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, known as ICMBio, while Urbia+Cataratas manages tourist visitation. The operator describes the park as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. This protected status gives the community event a direct connection to the landscape and the institution responsible for access.
The park lies in Foz do Iguacu in the state of Parana, on the Brazilian side of the waterfalls. The visitor centre address published by the operator is BR-469, kilometre 18, Parque Nacional do Iguacu. A Rede Globo event report also identifies the park and Foz do Iguacu as the venue.
