Itaipu Dam seemed a good bet to fill a morning since we had already seen the amazing Icuacu falls the day before.

excellent tour and so interesting especially as it's the biggest plant of it's kind in the world ! It supply's 90% of Paraguay's electric and 20% of Brasil's, that's some power ! and is built across the two country's borders, as you can stand with one foot in each country at a specially designated point ! cool or what !
