According to Turismo Itaipu, the event aims to commemorate the hydroelectric plant's anniversary month. The company that manages the binational partnership between Brazil and Paraguay, which will be 51 years old this Saturday (17), was founded in May 1974.
According to the list, the free buses for the Itaipu Panoramic tour will depart from the city center and neighborhoods such as Conjunto Libra, Porto Meira, Três Lagoas, Vila A and Vila C Nova. On the way back, the buses will return to the same locations.
