Itapu
The Itapu damn is one of the seven modern wonders of the world and is located in a neutral area between Brasil and Paraguay. The Parana river divides Brasil and Paraguay and meets up with the Iguaçu river further down street, past the falls.
On Friday and Saturday nights they have an illumination display where they light up the damn. Enrique’s mom joined Enrique and I for the tour. The illumination itself was pretty unimpressive…it only lasted about 2 minutes, after we had waited for probably close to 45. But the tour was interesting. The damn produces an enormous amount of energy for both Paraguay and Brasil.
