 A particular bench by andal13
At Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant the benches have certain data:
"The volume of earth and rock excaved in Itaipu is equivalent to more than twice the Sugar Loaf (Rio de Janeiro)"
"The construction iron and steel used in Itaipu would build 380 Eiffel Towers"
"The total volume of concrete used in Itaipu would build 210 stadiums like Maracana"
...and some more! Of course, the captions are in Portuguese.
Probablemente alguna vez en su vida han leído algo sentados en un banco... Pero alguna vez han leído un banco?
En la Represa de Itaipu los bancos tienen algunos datos:
"El volumen de la tierra y la roca excavada en Itaipu es equivalente a más de dos veces el volumen del Pan de Azúcar (Rio de Janeiro)"
"El hierro y el acero de construcción usados en Itaipu serían suficientes para edificar 380 veces la Torre Eiffel"
"Con el volumen total de concreto de Itaipu podrían construirse 210 estadios como el de Maracaná"
...y varios más! Por supuesto, las leyendas se encuentran en portugués. Leave a Comment

See my Ciudad del Este, Paraguay for more details on some of the dangers here.
To get there, catch the bus from Foz do Iguacu on Rua Almirante Barroso. The bus will say Ciudad del Este and will be marked Internacional. It will cost 3 reais (or pesos). Leave a Comment

 Espaco das Americas by daevemanbrazil
In the Marco das Tres Fronteiras, you will be able to see Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. From it's monument (an obelisc), you will see both rivers, Rio Parana - west that separated Brazil from Paraguay and Rio Iguacu - south, wich separates Brazil and Argentina. The monument was opened in July 20th, 1903.
Besides the monument, in the same place there is a monument in the name of Alvar Nunes Cabeza de Vaca, the man who discovered the Iguassu Falls in 1542.
The real off beaten path visit In the Marco das Tres Fronteiras is the "Espaco das Americas", that is a wooden made construction where you will find several murals with local histories and information on native indians. It is a very nice place, where my class had the Graduation Cerimony in 2000. Leave a Comment

If you are interested in going to shop, there are said to be some good electronics discounts compared to Brazil, but the prices did not seem to be much of a deal to an American. For more information, you can check out my Paraguay page which is reached by the link below. Leave a Comment

 Attempt to make a dam more
photogenic by Assenczo
Then immaculate buses take the crowds up to a perfect viewpoint where all the incomprehensible might of this concrete monster stands up in front of you and intimidates every nucleus of your being. When your imagination is thoroughly saturated you are driven off to match your meager body against the colossal turbines and then on to the borderless road crawling on top of the wall for the ultimate display of water infinity.
By the end of the exercise your lower jaw is fixed permanently at an unnatural level and you flagellate yourself for thinking of Brazil in such a belittling manner. Leave a Comment
