Hi Everybody,
I am in Foz de Iguazu (BRA) now and interested in going to the Itaipu Dam. I thought it would be fun to go to the Paraguayan side just to get a glimpse of Paraguay but I am wondering if it is worth the hassle. I have heard the traffic crossing the bridge can be gnarly. Also, is a visit to the dam a much better experience on one side or the other?
I have a half-day only so I want to choose wisely. Thanks!
I didn't go to the dam so I have no opinion on that.
I found Paraguay an interesting and nice country. Didn't plan to go there, but eventually ended up spending a week there. It's different, very laid back, like from different times.
Whether you'll like the country or not, it'll depend on what you're looking for.
Ciudad del Este is not the best place to get a feel of the country. You'd need to go a bit further. A bus trip to Asuncion takes 6 hrs. I liked Villarica too, and the country side, like a god forsaken land.
