The experience

How do you fit the world's largest hydroelectric dam and one of the planet's greatest waterfall systems into a single day without renting a car? This private tour handles both the logistics and the route. You're picked up at your hotel, driven to Itaipu Dam for the first half of the tour, then transferred to Iguassu Falls on the Brazilian side, where 275 waterfalls cascade across the landscape. The guide leads you through both sites and brings you back to your hotel when it ends, so you move between them without navigating on your own.

The tour runs around six hours total, split between the dam and the falls. Itaipu is the largest clean energy producer on the planet. The Brazilian side of Iguassu is the largest set of waterfalls. Both are major stops in the region, and this pairing lets you see them in sequence rather than on separate days. The minivan is air-conditioned, and your guide is a live person who speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese depending on what you book.

Transfers are approximate and depend on traffic and time of day. The tour operates in all weather, so bring appropriate clothing. Infants must sit on an adult's lap during transport. If you have spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns, check with the operator before booking.
