I read that and not exists, but many people remember her beauty, although it is likely that those who today rondamos thirties and least we've ever seen a photo of the site further. What follows is a short review that falls into the category of Tourism "archeology" a tourist destination that we have only photos and memories (probably to mourn).

falls of Guaira was one of the biggest victims of the project of the Itaipu hydroelectric dam. The one was the biggest waterfall of the river Paraná until 1982, today only can be viewed as a poor memory when the water level of the dam is low. had a volume water estimated at 49 million liters per second in 18 cataratas.En the pictures you can see from the air before and after the waterfall after the flood:

The natural phenomenon occurred to find a river 381 meters wide, with a barrel just 61 meters. The largest of the falls, had a height of 40 meters, no less. And all amidst lush nature.

The power of the mighty river, or rather the location and characteristics of the relief, were the cause of the downfall of the waterfall itself, plus of course, today questioned the decision made by high ranking politicians from both Brazil and Paraguay (both countries under a dictatorship), partners in the project. Again men were then led by judge and interacting with the planet. The jumps of Guaira, summoned thousands of tourists every year, attracted by the sense of a series of spectacular jumps that from certain angles, were seen as infinite in encounter with a barrel of basalt stones.

The Itaipu dam was built 200 km river down, but the calculations estimated that the jumps would be covered with water, and it seems evident that the parties involved do not pulse trembled when he signed the letter of intent of the work between Brazilian and Paraguayan foreign ministers in 1966. Up few hours before the disappearance, a sign at the entrance to the trails of the Cascades remembered (almost like a joke): "respect nature".

The natural wonder, even years before his disappearance was a somewhat isolated tourist attraction, where to see the seven major waterfalls, one had to go through several suspension bridges. Months before the great flood, thousands of tourists want to see them one last time. While the lack of maintenance of the bridge was complete, a group of tourists came to overload one of the structures could not withstand the weight, sparking one of the tragedies tourist raw living memory in South America, with a treitena dead. Shortly thereafter, he blew the more pronounced rock ledges to facilitate navigation in the future reservoir, thus, the possibility of restore the ecosystem and the landscape was completely canceled.

Of course the story would be complete without mention of the Itaipu Dam , the company binational dam largest in the Southern Hemisphere (second in the world after the Three Gorges Dam in China). The work, generates up to 95% of the electricity consumed in Paraguay and 24% of a giant like Brazil.

By way of compensation, the Itaipu dam pays royalties to all municipalities affected by flooding, and often, is an engineering work included in lists of the Wonders of modern world. Since its opening, has received more than 15 million visitors, mostly tourists, come to visit the nearby Niagara Falls , a natural wonder that fortunately amaze visitors from around the globe. Leaps of Guayra, are just a souvenir postcard of the natural beauty of our planet that sometimes men determine short-lived.

Rope Swings , could be summarized as a swing giant rope: the arc starring this video, ( Corona Arch ), is the ideal place for a giant swing, as decided by the players in this video screaming. And depending on how you see them enjoying the rope swing exercise on such a scale and place is hard to beat. Impossible not to scream, I'd say,
