Día 2

Comenzando muy temprano otra vez para poder aprovechar al máximo, nuestro tour empieza cruzando una vez más la frontera entre Argentina y Brasil para dirigirnos a la famosa hidroeléctrica de Itaipu.  Se dice que fue la represa más biggest in the world (China ya le ganó), y es una colaboración entre los gobiernos brasileños y paraguayos. The tour begins by paying an entrance fee of 42 real ($11USD) por persona por el tour básico en donde nos trasladaron a un auditorio para ver un video de la historia, planning and reasons that started the project, esto duró about 20 mins.  By the end, abordamos autobuses abiertos de dos pisos para comenzar el recorrido con una grabación que nos iba contando punto a punto lo que íbamos observando. La represa de la hidroeléctrica está localizada en un parque de varias hectáreas, donde en el trayecto se pueden apreciar pájaros, capybaras, beverage and souvenir shops.

In the última parada del bus, llegamos a las orillas del Ríthe Paraná donde hay un restaurante al estilo buffet donde se puede disfrutar de la comida y bebidas brasileras con vista al enorme rió – lago.  A very relaxing experience.

This tour is interesting for someone interested in a general visit of the place, sin embargo si hay tours más a profundidad donde incluso pueden entrar a las oficinas y ver la maquinaria desde adentro.
