We enjoyed the trip very much. The driver picked us up from the hotel in a car that drove us across the border to a park on the Brazilian side. We had a choice if we wanted to walk the trail past the waterfalls first or take the boat under the waterfalls first. Finally, we were taken back to the hotel.

It was excelent trip. We saw control room, hall with turbines and moving turbine shaft. After that we stopped for a while at top of the dam. There was nice víew.
