Hydro-electric Station
The Itaipu hydro-electric station (Hidrelétrica de Itaipu), 40km/25mi north-west of the Iguaçu Falls, was one of the giant projects of the military dictatorship. Its eighteen turbines are powered by water from the artificial lake on the Paraná to the north. It is the largest hydro-electric station in South America, and indeed one of the largest in the world. There are conducted visits daily from Monday to Saturday, with audio-visual material illustrating the construction of the scheme.
