Proyecto Bicentenario 2° SEM: Day 6

On the sixth day of our trip, we woke up at 6.30. At 7 o´clock we had breakfast and at 8.30 we went to the “Tourists Centre” and watched a film. Then we went to the “Yacyretá Dam” with a tourist guide who explained to us everything about the dam.

Yacyreta Dam is a hydroelectric power plant built over the waterfalls of Yacyretá-Apipé in the Paraná between the Argentina province of Corrientes and the city of Ayolas in Paraguay. It is one of the biggest and most important works of engineering in Latin America.

It is 80 km. downstream of the cities of Posadas (Argentina) and Encarnación (

Paraguay

). It has 20 turbines. Their main aims are to produce electricity and improve the navigation of the river.

After that, we went to Ituzaingo coast and there we read a story and made a reflexion. Then, we did some activities for our Biology project.

Then we had lunch. We ate some chicken and smashed potatoes in a restaurant.

In the afternoon we went to the famous church in Itati, and we had a farewell Mass. After the celebration we could buy some souveniers for our families and then we had tea.

Finally we travelled for some hours and stopped in Corrientes to have dinner and watch Unión football match.

Then we went back to Santa Fe and arrived here at 6.30 am.
