Awasi Iguazu

Beautiful basalt walkways connect Awasi’s buildings, all of which are hidden amidst the jungle greenery for full natural immersion. A spacious bar-meets-restaurant is housed in the main area, an open-plan, lofty-ceilinged cabin almost 10 metres from the forest floor, where plush sofas and wooden tables offer the perfect space for enjoying a glass of local vino and exchanging travel stories with fellow guests. The exquisite jungle-to-plate food showcases seasonal produce and is a delight to come back to after a busy day - and what better way to enjoy it than on the veranda under a canopy of lichen-lined trees? Jungle dining at its finest.

Providing the utmost privacy, Awasi’s 14 stand-alone villas are spread throughout the rainforest, each offering a heavenly refuge in the trees. Wooden walls, Guarani-infused décor and soothing hues of white and earthy tones complement the tranquil vibes of the surroundings, and windows flank most of the wall space for non-stop luscious views - and that's even from the bathroom. A large bathtub, walk-in shower, a coffee corner and living room are all part of the 100m2 space, and to top it all off, there's an outdoor deck with sun loungers and the private plunge pool.

Working with renowned biologists and tourism professionals, Awasi has put a lot of effort into creating activities and excursions that allow their guests to discover the grandeur of the Atlantic rainforest, beyond just the Iguazú Falls. With a private guide that is both passionate and mind-blowingly knowledgeable, you’ll embark on kayaking adventures, boat trips, cultural encounters and jungle trails. With chances to see thousands of endemic species of flora and fauna, orchids, colourful birds, tapirs and even the odd puma or ocelot, you’ll never want to stop exploring.
