Iguazú
Awasi Iguazú

Just like its sister properties in Chile, Awasi Iguazú—a luxury jungle lodge on the Argentinian side of the spectacular Iguazú Falls—is all about personal experiences and bespoke adventures, guided by experts who tailor everything to you. Tucked away in a private reserve just 15 minutes from the Falls, this eco-conscious retreat features 14 stand-alone jungle suites, each raised on stilts to minimize environmental impact while maximizing privacy. Alongside the peaceful seclusion of your suite, you’ll find stylish and relaxing communal areas at the Main Lodge, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the rainforest.

In addition to private excursions to Iguazú Falls, Awasi Iguazú offers unique and innovative jungle excursions, so you can experience the local wildlife, fauna, flora and indigenous Guarani cultures of the stunning Atlantic rainforest. Jungle chic at its best!

Facilities & Activities

Awasi Iguazú is the perfect spot to enjoy the world famous National Park and its surroundings, while also enjoying especially crafted excursions that go beyond the falls.

A stay here gives you that much appreciated ‘head start’ in accessing the Falls themselves; whilst there’s no early entry – yet (something the lodge are working towards!), guests are able to enter much closer to the action and hence enjoy around 30 minutes of quiet time before the day visitors arrive. From Awasi’s entry point you can access both the lower and the upper circuits and guests can head to the Garganta del Diablo from there if they are feeling energetic and up for a 3km walk/jog, although there’s also the option of waiting for the little train should that not appeal.

The Falls aside, the lodge also enjoys a sublime location in the Atlantic Rainforest; unconnected to any other rainforest, it is home to thousands of endemic plants and animals. Awasi have worked with renowned biologists to create a series of excursions that go beyond the falls; from landscape to history, flora and fauna, the Misiones Province is a melting pot of contrasts and diversity. With a little luck you should see tapirs, capuchin monkeys and, if you are especially lucky, there is also puma . There are a plethora of jungle trails, crystal clear pools, only reachable by boat and archaeological Jesuit ruins. The local Guarani tribes practice ancient artisan crafts and know more about the rainforest than anyone else

After days spent exploring the impressive natural scenery in and around the Iguazú Falls, return to Awasi for a swim in your own private plunge pool, a drink at the bar in the main lodge and long evening meals in the welcoming restaurant.

Awasi follows the safari model when it comes to meals, drinks, and outdoor activities: everything is included; guests stay on an all-inclusive with private transfers to and from Puerto Iguazu Airport, all meals, beverages (including premium wine and spirits), private guided excursions and personal 4WD vehicle. Although there is no pool or spa, each villa has a plunge pool and in-room massages can be arranged. There is also complimentary Wi-Fi.

Children over the age of 10 are welcome; the private guide and 4WD vehicle provided make Awasi a great option for families as you can go at your own pace. Children aged 10 – 18 years of age, pay 50% of the regular rate.

Sustainability

Awasi is a carbon-neutral experience, with their protected forest areas absorbing more carbon dioxide than their lodges and guests generate. Specifically, Awasi Iguazu focuses on protecting the Atlantic Rainforest and collaborates with local organisations to protect and rehabilitate native wildlife. They also actively monitor local species and help authorities combat hunting and poaching. 

Location

Getting to Awasi Iguazú is easy and convenient, whether you’re arriving from Argentina or Brazil. The lodge is just a 20-minute drive from Puerto Iguazú International Airport (IGR)—also known as Cataratas del Iguazú. If you’re coming from Brazil, it’s also a smooth trip: Foz do Iguaçu International Airport (IGU) is less than an hour away, or as quick as 35 minutes if border customs are running efficiently. Wherever you land, your private guide will meet you for a seamless transfer, included as part of Awasi’s all-inclusive experience.
