The majestic Itaip\u00fa Dam<\/strong> is a hydroelectric dam on the Paran\u00e1 River located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay. It is the third largest hydroelectric dam in the world and holds the 45th largest reservoir in the world. (Wikipedia)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to Itaip\u00fa and afterwards to Brazilian Iguaz\u00fa, we ordered a taxi at the reception of the hotel where we were staying in Puerto Iguaz\u00fa.<\/strong> The cost was around 70 USD, and the driver was with us all day, taking us to both destinations. The border control to pass from Argentina to Brazil was very quick, we didn\u00b4t have to get off the car or wait in line, the officer just checked our passports communicating with our driver only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour of the Itaip\u00fa dam can be booked here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did the panoramic tour <\/strong>(we wanted the Special tour but unfortunately it was in Portuguese only). The panoramic tour takes 1hour 10 minutes, costs 12 USD<\/strong> and consists of a bus tour around the Itaip\u00fa area with stops at several viewpoints. On the bus you can listen to audio guide in English and Portuguese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except from the dam, for me it was lovely to observe the flora and fauna in the area where the dam is located. For instance, we have seen many capybaras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
