 Park Ushers by Assenczo
Located conveniently just 100 meters away from the Iguaçu Park entrance, this unique Zoo offers variety of local birds in their natural habitat on display.
No need for lowering your voice (comes handy when traveling with children), no need of binoculars and no need for viper venom antidote since all of the reptiles are "behind bars". For the hardened "hands-on" biologist this environment might sound pervert but for a city boy this is a luxury of ultimate necessity.
The populace of the park includes myriad kinds of parrots, many kinds of humming birds (just on vacation from their Canadian hideouts) and of course the omnipresent toucan. Originally I was exposed to the toucan family in Central America, but they were no match for these ones. The size of the body and respectively the beak is three to five times larger. Coming from the mouth of a tourist these superlatives mean something, indeed.
For change, along the course of this predominantly bird show, one can see some local caimans and the infamous anaconda. Enjoy your visit!

 Brazil and Argentina for
the price of one by Assenczo
This is the place where exhausted Iguaçu River joins tamed Parana in its slow drift towards the ocean. The right view point will emphasize the distinct water colours that these two rivers have.
At last, you have lots of time for shopping, card writing or just gazing and listening to the silence. Leave a Comment Address: Latitude: 54West/26SouthDirections: At the Foz local bus station ask the tourist officer which bus to take. You go to the last stop - no way to get lost.

 Entrance ticket by daevemanbrazil
If it is possible, go to both Brazilian and Argentina side of the Iguassu Falls (it is right in the border of both countries). In the brazilian side you can see the falls, but in the argentinan side you can walk OVER the falls (some of them of course). Leave a Comment Address: Avenida das CataratasDirections: There is only one route to Iguassu Falls: Avenida das Cataratas, where you also can find a subroute to the Brazil - Argentina border.

 General view of the Power
Plant (photo by Itaipu) by daevemanbrazil
"According to the magazine "Popular Mechanics", 1995 edition, the seven greatest engineering feats "bear witness to the capacity of twentieth century human beings to attain their greatest destiny: the conquest of the impossible". Apart from Itaipu, the list also contains: the Golden Gate Bridge (USA); the Panama Canal, that links the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific; the Euro-Tunnel, that joins France and England beneath the English Channel; the North Sea Defence Works (Holland); the Empire State Building (USA); and the Tower of Canadian National (Canada)." - extracted from the Itaipu website.
The power plant is located in Parana River (Rio Parana), right between Brazil and Paraguay. Both countries built the Dam, but all power produced goes to Brazil (we buy the paraguayan share).
The Dam also created, if Im not mistaken, the bigest artificial lake in the world.
Last time I was in town, there was an Orquestral show at night, and my friends told me that was unforgettable (friday's night only, I still have to confirm if they are performing it).
Ill update this tip later, with more infos. Leave a Comment Address: Av. Tancredo Neves, 6.731Phone: (45) 520-5252Directions: Located at the end of Tancredo Neves Avenue. Take a taxi to go there, because it is too far for walking and taking the bus could put you right next to some local delinquents that live in in the Dam neighboor (the Itaipu Dam itself is very safe).Website: http://www.itaipu.gov.br/
