Iguazu Falls

The colossal power of these thundering falls, viewable from both Argentina and Brazil, and accessible from Paraguay, is a mesmerizing sight: 275 separate falls in a U-shaped formation pound the water below in raging cascades with a deafening intensity.

Iguazu Falls was simply stunning, beyond description. We saw the Falls from both the Argentinean side, up close and personal with the deafening roar of the water in our ears, and from the Brazilian side, from lofty platforms with panoramic views above the Falls. It was magnificent and will be forever memorable. We had one gray cloudy day on the Argentinean side that made for dramatic moody photos, and a cool but bright sunny day on the Brazilian side where brilliant rainbows were everywhere on the water. This is well worth a visit. Our guide Carlos with G Adventures was awesome! He guided us to the best viewpoints on both sides, gave us ample time to absorb the beauty around us, and filled us in on the layout of the Falls, geology and history of the area, etc. Highly recommended!

Itaipu Dam

Largest hydroelectric power plant in the world, Itaipu is the current world record holder in power generation and is considered one of the 7 wonders of modern engineering. Built on the Parana River, the seventh largest river in the world, between Brazil and Paraguay, it is 8 km wide, has a maximum height of 196 m and a lake of 1350 km². Itaipu enchants not only for the dimensions and technical aspects, but also for being a vanguard in sustainability and tourism, with several options of visits, from the classic Panoramic Tour and the award-winning Special Tour, that leads to the interior of the plant, to boat trips on the lake and night tours of the plant. Visiting Itaipu is to know, closely, what human capacity can accomplish.

If you have any interest in engineering/ how things work then do the special tour. Its twice a day bookable in advance; covered shoes, long trousers and passports required ( you go inside a working power plant! ) our guide was great (thanks Angela) answering all of our questions. We were totally captivated from start to finish.

Early into the bird park before the crowds. What a wonderful vision Dennis and Anna Croukamp had to set up this amazing park in the forest for rescued birds. As I am a bird lover, I was delighted to see such a large variety of birds from flamingos to numerous parrots, eagles, king vulture which I had never seen before, and of course the many macaws to the cheeky Toucans. One of my favourites was the red fan parrot, so colourful. It was such a delightful experience to wander through this bird park to see the birds up close. Take your time wandering through the park, you will enjoy it all the more.

Beautiful park and a great place for a long walk or a picnic. The park is on the route of the City Tour bus and has a great look out point from the pink building.
