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 set off for the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam, which belongs to both Paraguay and Brazil, and start our sightseeing tour.

Upon arrival, we'll watch a 10-minute video at the visitor's centre about the dam's development. Next, we'll board a double-decker bus with an open-air upper floor for our 1-hour tour of the Itaipu Dam, making up to 3 stops for pictures.

Our first stop will be the Spillway viewpoint to admire the dam's water flow. We'll continue toward Paraguay through a 640-foot (196-meter) high wall while enjoying views of the dense subtropical forest surrounding Itaipu.

After the tour, we'll drop you back at your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu at 11:40 am.

Pickup

The Belmond Cataratas Hotel is not within the pickup area. If you're staying there, we'll contact you to indicate the exact location and pickup time.

Tour without pickup

You can also book the sightseeing tour without transport, needing to reach the meeting point on Avenida Tancredo Neves. For an hour and a half, you'll enjoy a guided tour of the Itaipu Dam, available every half hour from 8:30 am to 5 pm.
