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.

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.

Its privileged location offers guests unparalleled access to some of Patagonia’s most spectacular landscapes, from rolling meadows to snow-capped peaks, making it an ideal destination for those seeking an immersive horseback riding adventure in one of South America’s last great frontiers.
Steeped in generations of equestrian tradition, Caballadas has been a family-run estancia for over a century, preserving Argentina’s deep-rooted connection to horses and the gaucho way of life. The estancia’s Argentine Criollo horses, renowned for their strength, agility, and endurance, are expertly trained for long-distance rides across rugged terrain. Guests can embark on multi-day horseback expeditions, traversing lush valleys, crystal-clear lakes, and volcanic plateaus, with experienced gauchos leading the way. Along the journey, riders gain insight into the timeless traditions of Patagonian horsemen, learning how to herd cattle, saddle up the traditional way, and experience the spirit of Argentina’s equestrian heritage firsthand.
