Iguazu Travel Attractions

iguazu national park

National Parks
The Iguazu River and its famous falls are lined on both sides by national parks. Parque Nacional do Iguaçu is best for panoramic views of the falls, while Argentina’s Parque Nacional Iguazu allows you to get closer to the water.



itaipu dam

Itaipu Dam
This impressive engineering feat is 65 stories high, nearly 5 miles wide, and generates more annual electricity any other hydroelectric power plant on the planet. Located on the border of Paraguay and Brazil, the Itaipu Dam supplies roughly 90% of Paraguay’s energy and 20% of Brazil’s.



iguazu boat

Boat Ride
For the most intimate experience with Iguazu, a boat ride to the base of the falls cannot be beat. Ride on a zodiac boat through the spray and feel the rush of the water’s power as close up as possible.
