6. Itaipu Dam
A dual-nation endeavor between Paraguay and Brazil, the dam is the largest hydroelectric plant in the world and supplies almost 90% of Paraguay’s electricity. The dam is open to the public, with a museum and visitor centre to educate the children and walks along the dam to take in the stunning natural beauty of the Iguazu River and the Parasana River (South America’s second-longest river).
