Itaipu Dam — Panoramic Tour

One of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World

Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam generates enough energy to power all of Paraguay and still supply 15% of Brazil's electricity demand. The tour begins with a historical documentary at the visitor center, followed by boarding the double-decker bus that crosses the dam's crest with panoramic views over the Paraná River and the reservoir. Along the route, stops at the spillway, the main observation deck and the mural by artist Poty Lazzarotto complete the experience.

Scale that impresses at every detail

At 196 meters tall with eight times the concrete volume of the Panama Canal, the dam's dimensions are hard to grasp until you're standing on top of it. Departures every 20 minutes from 8:30am to 4:45pm — no reservation required.
