Itaipu Dam

Largest hydroelectric power plant in the world, Itaipu is the current world record holder in power generation and is considered one of the 7 wonders of modern engineering. Built on the Parana River, the seventh largest river in the world, between Brazil and Paraguay, it is 8 km wide, has a maximum height of 196 m and a lake of 1350 km². Itaipu enchants not only for the dimensions and technical aspects, but also for being a vanguard in sustainability and tourism, with several options of visits, from the classic Panoramic Tour and the award-winning Special Tour, that leads to the interior of the plant, to boat trips on the lake and night tours of the plant. Visiting Itaipu is to know, closely, what human capacity can accomplish.

If you have any interest in engineering/ how things work then do the special tour. Its twice a day bookable in advance; covered shoes, long trousers and passports required ( you go inside a working power plant! ) our guide was great (thanks Angela) answering all of our questions. We were totally captivated from start to finish.
