Awasi Iguazu capitalizes on the links it forges between visitors and the area’s indigenous Guarani people to help affirm and preserve their culture, local skills, and way of life. In addition to organizing visits to the iconic Iguazu Falls, the hotel is an equally strong promoter of visits to local Guarani communities - something brought alive through the craft workshops and specialist talks it helps organize.

Employees are also heavily involved in building relations with neighboring communities, working with them on a number of projects. The flagship initiative is an art workshop run by Awasi staff. This serves an average of 60 children drawn from four neighboring schools. The hotel provides all the materials and snacks for the workshops, and classes focus on specific techniques like pencil drawings or watercolors. What’s more, the team ensures these times are enjoyable for the children by choosing subjects that they can naturally connect with, such as wildlife, mythology, and landscapes. Moreover, preserving the three corners of South America where the Awasi lodges are located is of utmost importance to the Awasi team. They protect and conserve over 340 hectares (840 acres) of virgin forest and native woodland in Iguazu and Patagonia. These forest areas absorb over 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year - a total that is greater than the amount of emissions generated by the three lodges, as well as the airline and transfer travel undertaken by employees and guests. This means Awasi is officially carbon neutral.

Set in lush rainforest a mere 20 minutes from the famous Iguazu Falls, each of the 14 villas on stilts has its own private pool. The stylish interior décor in the lodges is inspired by local Guarani crafts, including baskets and traditional textiles. In the kitchen, the chef creates cuisine from the heart, bringing the jungle to the plate, balancing sophistication and simplicity according to changing tastes and seasons. The surrounding area reveals countless natural wonders in the form of orchids, ferns and endemic tree species, which join tapirs, monkeys, pumas and colourful birds.

Plan your stay at the Awasi Iguazu

“The Iguazu Waterfalls are one of the most sought-after natural wonders of the world – and for good reason. At Awasi, our guests have the privilege of being able to visit them on their own schedule and as many times as they want to with their private guide, not having to adapt to groups. This experience is a must!”

Iguazu Waterfalls

Did you know that Iguazú Falls is part of the Atlantic Forest? Extending along Brazil’s coastline and inland into Paraguay and extreme northeastern Argentina, it is a region of remarkable biodiversity. This incredibly beautiful autonomous tropical rainforest is home to thousands of endemic plants and animals. Having worked with renowned biologists, archeologists, and other local specialists to create a series of original excursions, we invite you to discover this enthralling place that will leave you with lasting memories. With its amazing landscapes, history, fauna, and flora, Misiones Province is an incredible mix of contrasts and diversity.

Discover the Atlantic Rainforest

This corner of the world is best known for its nature and biodiversity, but the cultural aspect is equally rich. The local inheritance is strongly influenced by European immigrants of the early 20th century, but also by the native inhabitants of these lands: the Guarani communities. With their help, we have developed authentic, sustainable experiences that allow our guests to get to know them and their traditions first hand.

Cultural Encounters

This luxuriant tropical forest is a refuge for a host of extraordinary flora and fauna. Take a moment to listen to the sounds of nature. Guests of Awasi Iguazu can venture off the beaten track to discover superb spots for observing local wildlife.
