Itaipu Dam

This was our geekiest day out so far but was actually really good!!! A massive 3km long hydro-electric dam on the border of Paraguay and Brasil and a really amazing feat of engineering. Not exactly what you would call beautiful tho!! It powers 97% of Paraguay and a massive chunk of Brazil too.





Geeky or what!!! It always pays to be cautious.

The turbines were massive and were really hot and vibrated when you touched them!


A guy actually cycled around the turbine hall rather than walked it was so big. I am telling you Tate Modern has nothing on this place!!
