Awasi Iguazu Location
Just 20 minutes from the Puerto Iguazu Airport and the Argentinian entrance to the Iguazu National Park, Awasi Iguazu occupies a large private plot of rainforest. The main attraction of the park is undoubtedly the Iguazu Falls, the largest falls in the world in terms of volume.
Depending on the season and water flow, Iguazu has as many as 275 distinct cascades within its two-mile wide, horseshoe-shaped curve.
But perhaps the most spectacular section of the falls is known as La Garganta del Diablo, or “The Devil’s Throat.” There, the Iguazu River crashes 240 feet to its lower course.
The Iguazu National Park is also home to over 2,000 species of plants and indigenous wildlife of the region including howler monkeys, jaguars, and giant anteaters.
Awasi Iguazu Accommodations
Awasi Iguazu’s 13 standard villas and 1 master villa are planted within a thick rainforest with nothing but open sky and buzzing branches waiting outside the doors.
Each cozy villa is built on stilts for minimal environmental impact and the interiors are accented with traditional baskets woven by the indigenous Guarani people, who still inhabit the region.
Each villa is fitted with a mini-bar, bathtub, robes, slippers, ambient-temperature plunge pool, sundeck, and Wi-Fi. In-room massages can also be arranged for an additional fee.

Awasi Iguazu has worked with renowned biologists to create a series of adventures that go beyond the falls. From its landscape to its history, the Misiones Province is a melting pot of diversity.
The Iguazu Falls are part of the Atlantic rainforest which is home to more than 400 species of birds. Orchids and ferns are unique to the rainforest, as well as tapirs, monkeys and puma. Excursions through the rainforest involve hiking jungle trails, visiting crystal pools, archaeological ruins and local Guarani who practice ancient artisan crafts.
