    The temple is located in an area further away from the center, close to Itaipu. It's worth having both visits on the same day. The space has several sculptures from Buddhist culture, surrounded by greenery and tranquility. The temple itself cannot be photographed or filmed. It is free. But I confess that I missed a little more information about the culture/religion. The place has a simple shop near the entrance, and free parking in front.

    Very beautiful place, with statues referring to Buddhism. Very cool to take pictures. The temple itself has nothing special on the inside and we have no information about the religion or the monks in the place but still worth seeing. Quick visit, up to 30min. It is worth to fit in the same day of Itaipu as it is nearby. And you don't pay anything to enter the temple, you just need to pay attention to the hours on Google because they open later and close earlier than the other sights.

    I was surprised to find this place in Foz. You breathe a lot of peace. What I could mark to improve is that we wanted to buy a guide to the place and they did not accept electronic means of payment or credit cards (cash only).

    Legal statues. The place is poorly preserved. No attention. Very weak souvenir shop and poor service. Much below temples like that of three crowns /RS or in Cotia /SP. For a place that comes people from all over the world, they need to do something to improve.

The temple is located further away from the city. It's a large space, with several statues and a souvenir shop. They take a photo of you at the entrance and then sell it for R$20.00.
It's a quick trip, without many attractions.

💲 Admission fee: Free
🕛 Visit time: About 1 hour
📍 Directions: Take Bus 103 at “TTU - Terminal Transporte Urbano”. The temple is a little out of city center and I would recommend to take taxi ou Uber
🔁 Day tour: Buddhist Temple —> Usina de Itaipu

...The Buddhist Temple brings tranquility and serenity. It’s a perfect place to take photos and find your inner peace. Don’t miss the chance to buy a set of cards, candles and incense at the gift store to wish good fortune and happiness in the temple. If you’ve already visited temples like in Thailand, you can skip this place; otherwise it’s worth visiting.
...Take the chance to get to Usina de Itaipu from here; only a few minutes by car.

There is no explanation for each statue.
The place is actually very beautiful. But very loose, they don't focus on engagements.
It must be that way as it is part of a Foz city tour itinerary.
The tour won't take you even 1 hour if you don't delve deeper into Buddhist knowledge.

Ambiente calmo e tranquilo, cercado de muita natureza, com uma linda vista onde voce consegue visualizar a fronteira do Brasil com o Paraguai. Perfeito para quem busca silencio, paz e um ambiente para relaxar e meditar. Nos rendeu belas fotos!!!

A super nice and well-kept place, but there is no explanation of what is there, we are quite lost without knowing what each statue represents and without much new information about Buddhism. You can easily see everything in 30 minutes. Maybe with a guided tour it would be a really cool tour.

We didn't realise that there was even a Buddhist Temple in Foz do Iguacu but what a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed walking the grounds and admiring the serenity. One thing special was to be able to listen to the monks chanting from within the temple
