Tour Description

Your day begins early in the morning with hotel pickup, with the exact collection time depending on the area where you are staying. From there, you will travel to Iguazú National Park to experience one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders.

Your first visit is to the Brazilian side of Iguazú Falls, featuring a 1,200-meter panoramic walkway that offers breathtaking views of the 275 individual waterfalls that form the Iguazú Falls system. On the Brazilian side, you will see four major falls: Floriano, Deodoro, Benjamín Constant, and the spectacular Salto Unión, also known as the Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo).

At the end of the walkway, you will have access to a panoramic elevator that takes you back up to the bus, which will return you to the park’s access portal.

Following a lunch break (not included), the tour continues to the Itaipú Hydroelectric Power Plant, the largest hydroelectric power plant currently in operation in the world. This impressive binational project between Brazil and Paraguay, built on the Paraná River, has an installed capacity of 12.6 million kilowatts, generated by 18 turbines, each producing 700,000 kilowatts.

Itaipú supplies approximately 90% of Paraguay’s electricity and 25% of Brazil’s total energy demand. Recognized as a true marvel of engineering, the plant was selected by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern Technological World.
