Itaipu Dam
The visit starts at the Visitor Reception Centre with the screening of a film about Itaipu and follows in our bus to get to know the hydroelectric plant. The route passes through the spillway lookout and includes a stop at the central gazebo, from where you have a wide view of the dam with its approximately 8 km long and 196 meters high.

The tour starts in the car, leaving the Visitor Reception Centre and circumvents the Piracema Channel to the buildings of the Refuge.
