  • Some more tourism…


    Two friends of mine also went to Paraná state  where Curitiba is its capital, but to a different kind of trip. They went to the Iguaçú Falls, and kindly allowed me to share their pictures with you guys. Below, there is some information about it, and also their link to more photos. Hope you enjoy the tour


    IGUAÇÚ FALLS


    The Iguaçú Falls are nestled in the Iguaçú National Park, at the border of Brazil and Argentina. Definitely, the main attraction of the State of Paraná are the Iguaçú Falls, with its 275 separate plunging over an 80 metre cliff. Located within the confines of Iguaçu National Park, the Falls are protected as a World Heritage Area.
    This Park, however, has many other surprises in store, like a beautiful subtropical forest and a big variety of animals.


    My friend has also added this comment:


    “There are a lot of pictures of the Iguassu Park where we can see the water falls, the Birds Park that I visited and the Itaipu Hydroelectric power plant that is the world’s largest power plant. (At least it will be until China finishes their power plant, after that Itaipu will be the second). If you want to check their site the address is: http://www.itaipu.gov.br
