WHY STAY
Awasi Iguazu is a luxury boutique hotel located on the banks of Iguazú River, near the Argentinian side of Iguazú Falls, the largest waterfalls in the world. Surrounded by the Atlantic rainforest, the lodge is a carbon-neutral, all-inclusive experience, tailor-made to each guest’s individual journey.
There are 14 spacious treehouse-style villas built on stilts with minimal environmental impact. Each villa has a private terrace and plunge pool, surrounded by the lush and secluded jungle. The interiors have warm, natural hues, with traditional textiles and baskets woven by the
indigenous Guarani people, inhabiting the region.
WHY WANDER
Each villa has an assigned private guide to help plan a unique adventure in and around Iguazú Falls to see what the Misiones Province has to offer. Explore the Falls from the Argentinian and the Brazilian side (depending on the current Covid restrictions). Go kayaking or paddleboarding in the Urugua-í river. Learn local history from the resident archeologist. Hike through Awasi’s private sanctuary. Discover the unique biodiversity of the Atlantic rainforest, home to thousands of endemic plants and animals, and more than 400 species of birds. Visit the archaeological Jesuit ruins. Meet with local Guarani tribes to learn about the region’s ancient history, culture, and native biodiversity.

GET INVOLVED
Awasi Iguazu is set in one of the last remaining parts of the Atlantic rainforest, an area with an incredibly rich ecosystem and one of the best places in the world for birdwatching and butterfly spotting. Sadly, the rainforest is rapidly decreasing in neighbouring areas due to deforestation in the expansion of agriculture. It is one of the most bio diverse areas in Argentina.
Our efforts are focussed on protecting and conserving this valuable ecosystem. We do so by donating and collaborating directly with local entities which work in the protection, rehabilitation and reintroduction of native animals. We also protect natural areas by helping monitor and track local species, and by helping the authorities keep hunters and poachers at bay.
AWASI GUESTS CAN VISIT THESE PROTECTED AREAS AND TAKE PART IN THE WORK WE DO TO PROTECT AND REINTRODUCE NATIVE SPECIES TO THEIR NATURAL HABITATS AND AID IN THE CONSERVATION OF THE ATLANTIC RAINFOREST.
The area around Awasi Iguazu is home to four neighbouring native Guarani communities. Their culture is extremely rich, and serves as an inspiration to us in terms of how to coexist respectfully alongside nature. We support these communities by offering a series of collaborations which run throughout the year and include private visits to their community the most skilled artisans of the community giving basketry demonstrations. Additionally, we fund a weekly art workshop at their local school which previously lacked an art teacher for the children. During these workshops, we arrange for a range of artists to participate (illustrators, theatre teachers and more) to give the children tools for self-expression.
