Foz do Igazu/Iguazu Falls, Brazil- day 22

Today I went to Iguazu Falls and saw them from the Brazilian side. Wow, they are absolutely amazing!!! They are the 2nd widest behind Niagara and 3rd highest behind Victoria and Angel Falls, but when combined makes it incedible. Plus the sheer number of falls-275!

The map of the falls-they are the border between brazil and argentina

beautiful!

After the falls I went to Itaipu dam. It is by far the largest power plannt in the world, the equivalent of 4 nuclear power plants! It generates 20% of Brazil´s power and 90% of Paraguay´s power. It is split between Paraguay and Brazil so I got see some of Paraguay today too.

One of the 14 generators. Just one of these bad boys powers all of Paraguay. The other 13 go to Brazil.
