After going to Paraguay in the morning, our last stop in Foz do Iguacu was the Itaipu dam - the second-largest generator of hydro-electric power in the world. First we enjoyed the sun while waiting for a tour. While I did the special tour (with entrance inside the dam), Bine did the normal tour because there was only one spot left on the special tour. Danke!
The dam is huge and besides a few machines there is not much else to see (at least for us tourists) than concrete.
Lots of concrete. But the dam is an impressively huge structure and quite interesting to visit.I was shocked when I heard that during the construction (five years) more than 100 people died. In my eyes that is quite a lot but the guide thought it's less than 1% and therefore not many.
At night it was time to say goodbye to Bine, my traveling companion for four great weeks in Brazil. DANKE for a great time, good talks, lots of fun and everything else.
