Our commitments
Its independent villas and main lodge were all designed to blend seamlessly with, and preserve, the unspoiled landscape. Construction was carried out off-site as far as possible and project managed to keep on-site works to a minimum. Minimizing environmental impact was vital too, with villas constructed on stilts to leave plants and micro-fauna undisturbed, and the use of local hardwood and natural ventilation.
The presence of the lodge helps protect against poachers and challenge the perspectives of farmers who may see wildlife as a nuisance. As a result, the area’s unique ecosystem – which includes guanacos, condors, and pumas – is thriving on the reserve. It’s a result that has led to wider initiatives such as strategically placed cameras that document wildlife behavior, the founding of South America’s first Puma Foundation in 2017, and the protection of a further 240ha at the lodge’s sister site Awasi Iguazú. 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.

Puma Spotting
Awasi Patagonia is located in the unique environment of Torres del Paine National Park, which is a refuge for wildlife harbouring species like the puma. However the animal is exposed to several dangers outside the boundaries of the park. Awasi Foundation has helped restore the natural habitat of native species, and now between 9 and 12 pumas roam the area. While staying with us, you can experience your first sighting of a puma in the wild. You have to get up early to have a chance to see the shy dune-coloured animal. You will cross the open valley that spreads at the foot of Awasi Patagonia before reaching the lakeside of Lago Sarmiento. Our guide will help you spot the gracious feline, resting here with its cubs in the morning light after a night of hunting.

Vast and Undiscovered Patagonia
“Baguales represents the immensity of Patagonia, the border with our nearby country, the snowy and sharp peaks. It is nature in its maximum expression that shows us how insignificant we are. Visit this unique place and imagine travelling 23 million years ago when it was covered by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.”

Itinerary - Argentina and Chile, along the Andes Mountains
Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle de Bournet's story straddles two continents: Europe and South America. Alexandra is part of the sixth generation to devote themselves to the famous Grand Marnier liqueur, which was created by her great-grandfather in 1880. She went on a long trip to the "New World" in the early 90s with her husband Cyril de Bournet, with the idea of finding new land and producing great wines. Of all the territories they visited, one place particularly fascinated them: Apalta in the Colchagua Valley, Chile... Twenty-five years after discovering this continent, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle de Bournet gives us her Route du Bonheur, offering the opportunity to discover both sides of the Andes Mountain Range. Such a different mountainous and desert world between Argentina and Chile. As Alexandra points out, on the Argentine side, the Andes descend in a very gentle way, with pink and clear colours. You can admire some of beautiful sunset views over the mountain sides. They create more of a steep relief on the Chilean side. The colours are darker, but the rivers flow towards the Pacific Ocean.
