Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie Grellmann
Discover the experiences available during the 2026 school holidays
July offers dry weather and temperatures between 14°C and 24°C in Foz do Iguaçu, creating ideal conditions to visit Itaipu Binacional. The plant operates with extended hours during the school holidays, with eight tour options available in 2026.
Why visit in July
The South American winter makes July a period of sunny days without the intense heat of summer. Rainfall is rarer, ensuring greater predictability for outdoor activities. Purchasing tickets online in advance guarantees preferred times and avoids lines.
Wildlife is more visible during tours of the Biological Refuge at this time, especially for nature observers.
