Itinerary
Built on the Paraná River near the border between Brazil and Paraguay, the Itaipu Dam is the largest operational hydroelectric power plant in the world. On this panoramic sightseeing tour from Foz do Iguaçu, you’ll tour this engineering marvel, which generates a power of 12,600 megawatts, approximately 25% of the electricity consumed by Brazil and 95% of the energy consumed by Paraguay. Your guided sightseeing tour gives you an up-close view of the Itaipu Dam and offers you the chance to take some great photos! Your knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer any questions you may have. On this tour you will do the Panoramic Tour. As the ticket is not included, you will pay for it on the spot.: * The Panoramic tour : Watch a documentary film on the power plant. See the dam and spillway from the central observation deck (without entering the facility). The grandeur of a plant built between two countries, when revealed in numbers, is surprising: the Itaipu dam is 7,919 meters long and 196 meters high. But when viewed from close up and from various angles in a tour around the Itaipu Panoramic, it impresses even more and guarantees a unique and striking experience. In addition to the privileged view of the spillway at the top of the dam, the path still allows contact with nature and beautiful landscapes within the Itaipu Tourist Complex. * The Technical tour cannot be done in this tour.

About Foz do Iguaçu
Foz do Iguaçu is the Brazilian gateway to the Iguaçu Falls, a border city where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet at the rivers.
The city stands in the far west of Paraná state, where the Iguaçu River joins the Paraná and the borders of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet. The Iguaçu Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage site, form a broad arc of around 275 separate cascades. From the Brazilian side a walkway gives wide views of the whole curve and ends on a platform close to the Devil's Throat, where the water drops with great noise and mist.
