Visitors follow a course divided into modules that present from the occupation of the power plant's area on the Brazilian side up to Itaipu's environmental conservation projects. The tour includes attractions such as water and energy. There is also a replica of a running turbine axel that even includes the noises typical of the plant's inner core. A panel of 3X4cm photos pays tribute to the people who worked in the construction of the hydroelectric power plant. « less
