The story
Imagine your group here
Your group hears the falls before they see them. The Iguaçu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, received more than two million visitors in 2025 — and 45% of them came from abroad.
Then the story changes scale. A short drive away, Itaipu’s “Itaipu Especial” tour takes visitors inside the dam and into its control room — engineering your participants will remember long after the photos.
And when the day is done, the dam lights up: Itaipu Iluminada is a night visit with music, the kind of moment that turns a trip into a shared memory.

Large groups
With a 4,500-person venue announced and resort capacity growing, Iguaçu is one of Brazil’s strongest options for large incentives.
