Iguazu Falls and Itaipu: a border itinerary of three countries

Waterfalls and hydroelectric dam create a tourist attraction across Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay
The Triple Frontier region, where the cities of Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil), Puerto Iguazú (Argentina) and Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) meet, brings together two major natural and engineering attractions: the Iguazu Falls, with drops of up to 80 meters, and the Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant. Together they form a circuit that blends scenery and technology.
The border among Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay concentrates two of the region’s main attractions: the Iguazu Falls, located near the city of Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil), and the Binational Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant, situated between Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Ciudad del Este (Paraguay).
The waterfalls reach 80 meters in height and create a visual spectacle that draws visitors year-round. The dam, on the other hand, represents a landmark of hydroelectric engineering and offers tours that show how the facility operates.
Together, the two sites create an itinerary that lets tourists experience both the raw power of nature and the technological capacity to harness water resources.
