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 set off for the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam, which belongs to both Paraguay and Brazil, and start our fascinating sightseeing tour.
When we arrive, we'll watch a 10-minute video at the visitor's centre to learn about the development of this colossal construction. Next, we'll board a double-decker bus with an open-air upper floor for our tour of the Itaipu Dam. During the 1-hour route, we'll make up to 3 stops so you can take pictures.
We'll stop at the Spillway viewpoint, where you'll be able to admire the endless flow of the dam's water. We'll continue until we reach Paraguay through a 640-foot (196-metre) high wall while enjoying views of the dense subtropical forest surrounding Itaipu.
It'll then be time to bid farewell to one of the world's greatest engineering feats and 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
If you'd prefer, you can also book the sightseeing tour without transport. In this case, you'll need to make your own way to the meeting point on Avenida Tancredo Neves. For an hour and a half, you'll enjoy a guided tour of the Itaipu Dam, which will take place every half hour from 8:30 am to 5 pm.
