A natural spectacle of rare beauty and power: yesterday the Ferrari Panamerican Tour 20,000 expedition began with a visit to the Foz do Iguaçu waterfalls. During this period the falls are less spectacular than usual due to the lack of rain. The crew and journalists spent the entire morning in the area as the Parco Nazionale di Iguaçu, which offers a vast variety of flora and fauna.

The City of Foz do Iguaçu, with all its diversity of attractions, represents one of the most beautiful tourist destinations of the world. It possesses incomparable natural richness. The Iguaçu Waterfalls - at the heart of the Iguaçu National Park - is responsible for the arrival of a large contingent of tourists to the City of Foz of Iguaçu each year, visitors who originate from all the parts of the world. In 2005, the Iguaçu National Park counted more than a million visitors, a record. The Park, is located on the border with Argentina, providing to visitors on the Brazilian side a privileged vision of the falls, with a truly panoramic view. In the neighbour country, the advantages are also for close contact and integration with the nature, and having also the chance to see the falls from several angles.

Another icon impels local tourism: Itaipu, the largest hydroelectric operation of the world. Inside the Itaipu Tourist Complex, visitors can get to know the Ecomuseu, the Bela Vista Biological Refuge, and also see the Monumental Illumination of the Power Plant. Besides the Waterfalls, the Iguaçu National Park offers interpretative trails and structure for practice of activities in a natural space, like: climbing, tree climbing, rafting and rappel. It is also possible to admire the area of the Waterfalls in helicopters flights. Near to the entrance of the Iguaçu National Park, is located the Bird Park, where the visitor comes across different species of birds in their natural habitats. Another interesting tourist attraction is the Three Landmark, limit between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, where it is possible to see the three countries simultaneously, besides the encounter of the rivers Iguaçu and Paraná.
 

The historic city boasts cultural many fine and significant attractions, with a strong emphasis on religious architecture: the best known points being the Main Church, the Buddhist Temple and the Muslim Mosque. From an architectural aspect - the international bridges, like Ponte Internacional da Amizade (Friendship) on the border with Paraguay and Ponte Internacional Tancredo Neves, on border with Argentina - stand out. There are still many options for leisure in the Itaipu Lake. In the proximities is located the Weekend Fly, where visitors can have a trike flight over the lake (similar to a delta wing, but with a stronger engine), being possible to visualize Itaipu Dam, Furnas Substation, Ecomuseu, Buddhist Temple and bridge Ponte Internacional da Amizade.

Meanwhile, during the afternoon yesterday the Ferrari Panamerican 20,000 team continued on their way towards Posadas. On the way they had to negotiate customs at the Brazilian border. The 599 GTB Fiorano's racing red and Tour de France blue livery was modified in honour of Argentina, the country that the granturismos will cross over the next three days.

The Argentine stretch of road between the Brazilian border and Posadas differed from the highways on which the cars had travelled on over the past few days where the road wound its way through the countryside. Now huddles of residences were sprinkled along the road. The climate was cooler and a storm accompanied the arrival of the 599 GTB Fioranos. Today the route continues through Argentina from Posadas to Saenz Pena.
