About Itaipu Dam
The Itaipu Dam is a huge hydroelectric dam on the Paraná River between Brazil and Paraguay. It's known for its nighttime light shows and views from the central lookout. The Production Building's command room controls the dam's turbines. Nearby on the Paraguayan side, the Museum of the Guarani Land has exhibits on indigenous culture. Just north, the Tatí Yupí Sanctuary is a wildlife reserve with trails and birdlife.
