Itaipu Dam Sightseeing Tour

Visit a spectacular reservoir with a hair-raising 400-foot drop on our Itaipu Dam Sightseeing Tour from Foz de Iguaçu. We'll visit this historic, binational hydroelectric dam and learn all about its construction.

Itaipu Dam Sightseeing Tour

Between 7:40 and 9 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu. We'll then head to the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam, which is located on the border of Paraguay and Brazil, to begin our sightseeing tour.

Upon arrival, we'll watch a 10-minute video at the visitor's center about the development of this dam. Afterward, we'll board a double-decker bus with an open-air upper floor for our 1-hour tour, which includes up to 3 stops for photo opportunities.

We'll first stop at the Spillway viewpoint to admire the dam's water flow. Next, we'll continue towards Paraguay, passing a 640-foot (196-metre) high wall while taking in views of the surrounding subtropical forest.

Finally, we will conclude the tour and return you to your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu by 11:40 am.
