Additional Information

Explore the Itaipu hydroelectric dam, counted among the world’s most massive dams. This gargantuan structure, standing at a height of 196 meters and stretching over 7,919 meters, straddles two countries and powers 95% of Paraguay and 24% of Brazil’s energy needs. Since its first generator started running in 1984, it has been consistently setting new benchmarks in both revenue and production.

Commence your two-and-half-hour expedition at the visitors’ center where you watch a video detailing the dam’s workings. Then proceed to a breathtaking overhead view from the main observation deck - a sight that beautifully captures the enormity of the dam. Not only do you get a privileged view of the top of the spillway, but you also get to indulge in the serenity of nature and admire the stunning landscapes within the Itaipu Tourist Complex.

It's very worth it - Monumental, colossal. We took a tour, with plant guides, explaining everything about this incredible work of engineering. It's very worth it.

Experience - I took the panoramic tour, the tour takes less than 1 hour and a guide explains everything. A bus takes us to the main points of the plant and there are 3 stops for photos and to understand how the plant works. I found it to be a super valid and enriching experience.

Itaipu Dam - The guide did a good job about giving us the background on the dam project. It might have been helpful to have the guide accompany us inside to help better explain some of the features.

A very impressive dam and a very shallow tour, at least for non-Spanish speakers. - The place itself is impressive. The dam is huge. The place itself is impressive. The dam is huge The place itself is impressive. The dam is huge

Over charged tour, I DON’T recommend… - They RIP YOU OFF, this tour is only panoramic tour, even it is not said on the tour caption. You can get the tickets to the panoramic tour on site with less than a 10€!!! And they charge over 40€ for this tour. I DON’T recommend doing this tour. Take Uber/Taxi to the dam and pay the entrance fee there, this will cost you not more than 20€ by that way.

Fraud - The tour announced to be 5 hours but it was 1:30. Shame on you crooks! Paid a lot for nothing! Entrance fee is 96rs and Taxi 40 RT, you took 98€ with no shame?!

flight! - It was not the location (splendid by the way), nor the site (breathtaking) but the quality/price ratio that made us jump!\nWe paid 200 euros for two adults and two children knowing that the entrance actually costs 40 euros for all of us and that there is absolutely no guided tour other than that included in the price. The guide who took us from the hotel to the site (2 kilometres!) only dropped us off there! A real shame!
