In short

Why choose drone photo & video in Foz do Iguaçu?
Aerial footage is the image of the Iguaçu Falls that people know best, and the one a visitor cannot make. A drone over the falls is not a visitor activity in the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu at all; it is a production, decided by the park itself. Drone photo and video in Foz do Iguaçu is therefore either a long, formal request to ICMBio or a flight planned outside the park, and the choice is made at booking.
Worth knowing about Foz do Iguaçu
ICMBio's rules for the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu allow a drone flight only with prior authorisation from the park chief, and only in places and at times without visitors, which rules out the walkways during opening hours. The same page gives ICMBio up to 100 calendar days to process filming and event requests, so drone footage of the falls is planned months ahead, not during the trip.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in Foz do Iguaçu
Can a drone pilot film the Iguaçu Falls for us?
Only with ICMBio authorisation. Drone photo and video in the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu needs the park chief's prior approval and a DECEA flight authorisation through SARPAS, and the flight takes place only where and when there are no visitors. Without that, the drone session in Foz do Iguaçu flies outside the park.
How far ahead must drone filming at the Iguaçu Falls be requested?
Months ahead. ICMBio gives itself up to 100 calendar days for filming and event requests in the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, and up to 10 calendar days per stage for photography authorisations. Drone photo and video at the Iguaçu Falls is therefore booked long before the trip, never on arrival in Foz do Iguaçu.
