The site was designated World Heritage by UNESCO. Tourist attractions include visits to both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of the Falls, natural parks, and the dam of the Itaipu Hydroeletric Facility. In 1994, the American Society of Civil Engineers elected the Itaipu Dam as one of the seven modern Wonders of the World.
