The cost of the flight was $864 USD per person which summed up to $4320 USD for five tickets.

The travel from Juliaca, Peru to Foz do Iguacu, Brazil went well but it took a long time. We left Juliaca at 2:50 pm and arrived in Foz do Iguacu the next day at 1:30 pm. We had to change airplanes twice in Peru, once in Arequipa and once in Lima, and we had another flight change in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The three stops were quite a hassle but it was the only cheap connection that we were able to find. All the other flights either cost twice as much or had a layover of at least 15 hours between flights so we decided to book this flight. It was actually an interesting experience to see these different airports.

To get around in Brazil we rented a compact 4-door car from Hertz at the airport. The total cost for the week was $489 USD plus fuel. Our initial idea was to use the city buses but after the air travel we decided to opt for the more convenient option and rented a car. The car was nice and proved to be a good way to get around.
