The Ç VS SS III

I do not think that there is a word with more spelling confusion than Iguaçu. The possibilities are: Iguaçu (Brazil,France), Iguazú (Argentina) Iguassu (English, international, airlines’ lingo), Yguazu, (Paraguay). You will probably see in touristy material something like “The Iguassu Area” – in an attempt to include the three sides of the Triple Border. Iguassu is supposed not to be Brazil, Argentina or Paraguay. But this attempt does not go very far either. That is the Brazilian proposal or putting better, the proposal of the “IguaSSu Right”. This subject was never offered to the consideration of Paraguayans and Argentineans. What we do have and was achieved by Mercosul*/ Mercosur's Resolution 41/97 is the Polo Turístico Internacional Iguaçu / Iguazu (PTII) which would roughly translate as The Iguassu International Tourism Pole – one of the first Community- Integrated Tourism Product, community here in the Mercosul, EU sense. What it really means, is that there would some kind of cooperation in matters like visas, tour facilitation and so on. 
If you are a citizen of a country that needs a visa for one of the three countries of the Tourism Pole, you would have free access to all the attractions of the other two countries on the border if you have been legally admited to one of the three countries. Have I made myself clear? No?! Today, if you are in Puerto Iguazu, Argentina, you a need a visa for Brazil and want to see the Falls on the Brazilian side, you will probably be turned down. The Tourism Pole has a physical area. It can be seen as circle around the Foz do Iguaçu, Puerto Iguazú, Ciudad del Este and two other Paraguiayan places - one of them where the Airport is. You can't go beyond that circle. Argentina already has a checkpoint about 50 kilometers from the borderline equipped with soldiers, sniffing dogs and so on for the purpose of sending offenders back to Iguazú - on the border. And they do!
*Mercosul (Portuguese) or Mercosur (Spanish) stands for Common Market of the South brought into existence by the Treaty of Asuncion.

These are more internal celebrations or festivities held in Umbanda and Candomblé ‘terreiros’ or centers. These special days are dedicated to one Orisha (Orixá). But two main dates above mark important events inside and outside umbanda. May 13 is the day when Brazilians celebrate Slavery Abolition Day. It is the day whe...

Umbanda and Candomblé Temples (Houses) in Foz do Iguaçu: address list

Image
  Mission accomplished. Members of the     Mãe Edna de Baru's (Mother Edna of Baru) house. An Afro-Brazilian Religious Space may be called "temple", "center" (centro) as in Centro de Umbanda (Umbanda Center), "terreiro" - a word derived from "terra (Earth) and simply "house".  A "terreiro" can be an area in the bush that is separated for the service, the undergrowth is cleared, the soil swept so that feet can tap and stump on the ground without the danger of snakes, insects that could somehow cause harm to the people in ceremony. "We do not need a cathedral. Men make cathedral. The little corner in the capoeira (second growth forest around the house) is god-made and all we need". Foz do Iguaçu is said to have 42 "houses". Each "house" is independent. There is no hierarchy. Houses do cooperate among them. Each house is presided over by a babalorisha (Babalorixá) or Yalorisha (Ialorixá). Bab...

Poor Niagara! Has Eleanor Roosevelt ever been to Iguassu Falls?

Image
Photo from the US Embassy Brazil's FLICKR Gallery showing Eleanor Roosevelt, with Natal's Bishop Marcolino Dantas and General Gomes (in uniform) possibly translating. Upon seeing Iguassu Falls, Eleanor Roosevelt is reported to have said: Poor Niagara! You will find that in Spanish, Portuguese, French and possibly other languages. Everyone, when trying to learn about Iguassu Falls, will hear this Poor Niagara – Iguassu Story. What is happening hear now is that I have launched a campaign, through several of my blogs trying to find out whether this is true or false and what is the context in which the first lady said that. US First lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited Brazil in March 14-17 in 1944. She flew from the US over the Caribbean, made stops at some islands and for sure visited Trinidad and Tobago. From TT the First lady flew to Brazil entering the country through Belem – at the mouth of the Amazon River. Eleanor Roosevelt’s Belem visit has been well documented in Brazil. ...
