XV Seminário Internacional do Trigo - Brasil

FOZ DO IGUAÇU: Portuguese language


Foz do Iguaçu, in the extreme west of the state of Paraná, is located where the Iguaçu and Paraná rivers meet, on Brazil's border with Paraguay and Argentina. It is a magical town, endowed by nature with magnificent landscapes, in particular the Iguaçu Falls, a set of 275 water falls of varied heights that can have as much as a 90-meter drop, with a 1,500 m³/second flow and extending over 2.7 km of Brazilian and Argentine territory.

PASSEIO DO MACUCO:An adventurous boat ride with a lot of adrenalin and excitement along the Iguaçu river torrents, close to the largest waterfalls.

BIRD PARK :This offers the visitor the sensation of walking through a forest in which 960 rare and colorful tropical birds fly freely within huge aviaries.

ITAIPU HYDROELECTRIC DAM and POWER STATION : One of the seven wonders of the modern world, this showpiece of 20th century engineering is the world's largest hydroelectric power station, with 20 turbines and an output of 12.6 million kW.

EXTREME SPORTS: The Iguaçu National Park is ideal for extreme sports such as canopy walks, tyrolean traversing, climbing walls, rappel, rafting and rock climbing.

NIGHTLIFE: Among the many entertainment alternatives, we suggest the Rafain Cataratas Churrascaria, a barbecue restaurant offering an extremely varied buffet meal and live show or, on the Argentine side, the Iguazu Casino, which offers a range of gambling options, including fun slot machines.

GOLF CLUB AND RESORT: Opened in 1997, it is 8 km away from the airport. It offers a grass, 18-hole, par 72 green of 6,983 yards, plus a shop that sells and leases specialized golfing products.

SHOPPING “The Wonderful World of Shopping”: In the Puerto Iguazu duty free shop in Argentina or in the many Ciudad del Este stores in Paraguay one can find products from around the world: perfumes, beverages, electronic goods, watches, exotic gastronomic delicacies, etc.
