There you'll find the grandiose Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant, the second largest in the world in terms of size and the first in terms of energy generation, recognised as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Then we'll dive into the immensity of the Iguazu Falls in the National Park, where the power and beauty of the falls will leave you speechless. Walk along the panoramic trails and take in breathtaking views of the falls in all their magnitude.
After an immersive experience in nature, it's time to explore the culture and history of the region at the Wonders of the World Wax Museum, where you'll find detailed replicas of famous figures and emblematic monuments from around the world.
Next, we'll embark on a journey of discovery at the Itaipu Biological Refuge, an ecological sanctuary that is home to many of the region's native species of fauna and flora. Learn about conservation and environmental preservation efforts while marvelling at the diversity of wildlife.
We couldn't leave out the panoramic visit to the Itaipu Binational Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the world. Admire the grandeur of this engineering feat and understand its impact on the region and on the supply of energy to millions of people.
