Full Day – Tour to Iguazu Falls in Small Group & Visit to Itaipu Dam

Begin your day with a half-day excursion to the breathtaking Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side. After being picked up from your hotel in Puerto Iguazu or Foz do Iguazu, you’ll join a small group led by an English-speaking guide. Upon arrival at the national park, you’ll purchase your entrance ticket (or include it in your reservation for convenience). A park shuttle will transport you to the starting point of the main circuit, a 1500-meter trail that offers panoramic views of the majestic falls. From this vantage point, you’ll also see the Melia Iguazu Hotel and the lighthouse on the Argentine side. As you progress through the trail, you’ll reach a viewpoint so close to the falls that the mist will leave you soaked—perfect for unforgettable photos and videos.

After visiting the falls, continue your adventure with a tour of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam, a marvel of modern engineering located on the Paraná River. This binational project between Brazil and Paraguay stands as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The guided visit includes stops at the main viewpoints, where you’ll witness the spillway releasing over 62,000 m³/sec of water, and at the command room, home to cutting-edge equipment. You’ll also explore the crest of the dam, offering stunning views of the spillway channels, and enjoy a short film detailing the dam’s construction and its impact on the region. For an added highlight, you may choose to experience the dam’s magnificent nighttime lighting show (available on Fridays and Saturdays). The tour concludes with a deeper appreciation of this incredible structure and its role in reshaping Foz do Iguaçu’s economy and landscape.
