A four-day programme brings Iguazú Canta to Iguazu Falls (Cataratas del Iguazú) in Puerto Iguazu from 1 to 4 October 2026. The international choral festival combines performances in the city with a central programme at Iguazú National Park.
Iguazú Canta brings choral music to the park
Iguazú Canta runs from 1 to 4 October 2026, according to the Misiones tourism programme. The listing places the festival in front of Iguazu Falls in Puerto Iguazu and identifies it as the first Festival Coral Iguazú Canta.
The organiser Sonoro Música lists the same four-day period on its Iguazú Canta festival page. The programme includes choral activity in churches, city spaces and local communities before moving to the national park.
The central park programme was scheduled for 3 October 2026. The published plan placed musical interventions on the waterfall balconies, followed by a gathering at the park amphitheatre and a closing concert. On 4 October 2026, the delegations were due to walk towards Hito Tres Fronteras for a final ceremony where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet.
Iguazu Falls connects the festival with a World Heritage landscape
The festival uses the waterfall landscape as more than a backdrop. Choral performances are planned beside the viewing areas, linking the sound of the singers with the water and rainforest described in the programme.
Iguazú National Park lies in Misiones Province in north-eastern Argentina, beside the Brazilian state of Parana. The park and its waterfall system have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984.
UNESCO describes a semicircular waterfall system extending almost 2,700 metres across the border, with vertical drops of up to 80 metres. Its cascades, spray and subtropical forest explain why the location changes the character of a choral programme: the performances take place within a protected natural setting rather than a conventional concert hall.
