Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and visit to Itaipu Dam
Stop At: Itaipu Dam, Avenida Tancredo Neves 6702, Foz do Iguacu, State of Parana 85856-970 Brazil
Enjoy convenient roundtrip transfers between the International Airport and your hotel. You will be met at Cataratas International Airport and taken directly to your hotel. English-speaking staff will greet you when you clear the airport luggage area - just look for our representative holding a sign with your name on it.
During the 1970´s and the 1980´s, while it was under construction, the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam was regarded as a pharaonic work, fruit of the megalomaniac commanders ruling Brazil in those years. Today, after three decades, the perspective is quite different.
Responsible for the production of 95% of the electricity consumed in Paraguay, and for 24% of the whole Brazilian consumption, this binational enterprise –built by workers, technical operators and engineers from Brazil and Paraguay – proves day after day its magnitude in the national and the international scene.
The first generator unit started to operate in 1984, and since then the power plant has successively broken production and revenue records. Besides the production of energy, Itaipu also stands as a symbol of environment preservation. The company runs the Biological Haven Bela Vista, continuous reforestation programs and projects that foster fish production as well as wild animal reproduction. There is also an Eco-museum that tells the story of the construction and maintenance of this unrivaled work.
The Panoramic tour: Watch a documentary film on the power plant. See the dam and spillway from the central observation deck (without entering the facility)
As the ticket is not included, you mus pay it on the spot.
Duration: 3 hours
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: One Night Hotel Accommodations at a 3 Star Hotel
Day 2: Visit to Iguassu Waterfalls (Brazilian side) with lunch
Stop At: Iguazu Falls, Foz do Iguacu, State of Parana 85855-750 Brazil
Nothing in the world of water compares to, or is more impressive than the natural spectacle provided by the stunning group of 275 waterfalls that make up the Iguassu Waterfalls.
Located a few kilometers from the union of the Iguassu River with the Paraná River, the waterfalls take you to a state of awe with their size, water flow and strong current.
The geologic change that gave birth to the Iguassu Waterfalls took place nearly 150 million years ago and shook the earth crust around the globe. At the Iguassu region those changes created a gigantic canyon, full of rock steps through which the grand Iguassu flows, producing a huge steam cloud and a deafening sound.
The average flow of the Waterfalls is around 1.800 m3 per second, for an average amount of 10 million liters per second. During the rain season the stream of the Iguassu River increases and shows an even more beautiful spectacle.
The biggest waterfall is the “Devils Throat”, which is 90 meters high. The volume of water poured down creates a cloud of drizzling water that can be watched from kilometers away.
Duration: 5 hours
Meals included:
• Lunch: Lunch at Porto Das Canoas restaurant at the Iguaçu National Park
Accommodation included: One Night Hotel Accommodations at a 3 Star Hotel
Day 3: Visit to Iguassu Waterfalls (Argentine side) with lunch and Departure:

Departure from the hotel with guide assistance, going to the currency exchange office to buy the Argentine currency necessary to enter the Argentine National Park, then stop at the customs where the passengers are required to migrate to the Brazilian customs (foreigners) and later at the Argentine Customs (everyone)
Once the tour started, every 30 min a train leaves to the superior part of the falls. First stop is the most traditional point, after the bus or van drive through the park until reach the point to start the trails and walkaways; in the end of the trail, you will find the Garganta do Diabo, the biggest waterfall in the park. Garganta do Diabo is a footbridge of 2080 meters that give access to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles on earth.
After a stop to behold and absorb all the nature and landscape around, Start the second part of the tour, Called Circuito Superior.
When you reach the top, you will be able to see all the high points of the park. If it is a sunny day, you will watch a gorgeous rainbow. There you can visit six observatories and spaces that you can relax and appreciate the view.

Good ! excellent tour and although they do not speak much of English to those who doesnot speak Spanish nor Portugese.
Great trip, very well organized. great guides.
A nice tour with stunning waterfalls. I was picked up on time at the airport and brought to a nice hotel with a large and nice room. In the afternoon the tour started with going to Itaipu. Our tour guide was not english speaking, which surprised me a little, but once we were at the dam we got a new, perfectly english speaking guide. The other two days were with going to the argentinian and then to the brazilian side of the waterfall which was great! I had the chance to do an optional boat tour, it was also great, but you get soaking wet. On the last day I was brought back on time to the airport and could lazily take my plane.
