The Iguaçu River, the source of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Iguaçu Falls, flows through parts of Brazil and Argentina. This powerful river, especially the section cascading from the falls, is harnessed for hydroelectric energy via the Itaipu Dam. Navigable by various types of boats, the river offers a dynamic landscape. Visitors can embark on boat trips departing from Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil, immersing themselves in the river’s natural beauty and experiencing the force that powers one of South America’s top natural attractions.
