As if it was the end of their powerful reining they had to make a grand burial place for themselves too. The rich and the famous worldwide are known for their lavish and luxurious ways of pampering themselves. Looking at them makes us drool, that what wrong we did to upset the God of all creations. Throughout their lives they are known for extravagant expenses and fine dining, clothing, residing etc. They are characterized as popular personalities, everyone simply has to know them, and they live a life of materialistic things and fade into the darkness of depression, drugs, alcohol and adultery. la-recoleta-cemetery

But even when they vanish from the face of the earth, their luxuries and final goodbyes are not a mere salute to them, but they are a complete event or function which boasts their riches and wealth on accommodating themselves in one of the richest cemeteries spread across the world. They obviously should be separated from the common man and so their buried coffins are flaunted in cemeteries where similar souls like theirs are laid to rest forever.

The largest hydroelectric dam in the world is the Itaipu Dam. This dam represents the great efforts and accomplishments of two neighboring countries Brazil and Paraguay. The Itaipu Dam’s construction was started in 1975 and it was completed on 1991. The dam was built on the Parana River.

The Itaipu Dam

It is having 18 power generating units, which have capacity of generating a total production of 12,600 MW and a reliable output of 75 million MWh a year. The energy production of Itaipu had broken so many records in the past years after the last unit was commissioned in 1991. In 1995 its power production was 77,212,396 MWh and in 1996 it got more than the mentioned figure and new record will be around the 80 million MWh a year mark.

The largeness of the project can be explained by the fact that in 1995 Itaipu alone supplied 25% of the energy to Brazil and 78% to Paraguay. This power plant is the major tourist attraction in the Foz do Iguacu area, having received around 9 million visitors from 162 countries. Foz do Iguacu city of Brazil is located at the Western tip of Parana State right by the border with Paraguay and Argentina.
