Visted 1 times

The Itaipu dam, NFL shop jerseys one of the seven wonders of the modern world, is a hydroelectric dam which spans the River Paraná between Brazil and Paraguay. You can visit from either side, and it’s easy to get there from Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. You can visit as part of an organised tour, or take advantage of the visitor centre’s four free visits every weekday (five on Saturday, three on Sunday). Make sure to time your visit with the showing of the movie which precedes the tour, as it will give you more understanding about what you’re about to see, as well as filling your brain with overwhelming statistics about how much electricity is produced each day and each year. The video covers the history of construction as well as giving up-to-date statistics about production.

The coach drives up onto the NHL jerseys supply retaining wall between the dam lake and the spillway so that you can see both sides at once, before returning to the access road back to the visitor centre. Entrance is free, the only cost the 3,000 guarani bus fare each way… making a total spend of less than US2. For more on Paraguay, check out our Paraguay page.
