Setting

On a Misiones

Discover the wild wiles of Misiones at all-inclusive treetop hideout Awasi Iguazú. With your personal guide by your side, you’ll take walks on the wild side serenaded by tropical birds, boat journeys across crystalline lakes and trips to see one of the world’s largest waterfalls. As a jungle VIP, you’ll have your own treetop villa complete with a private terrace and plunge pool – the perfect spot for rainforest R ‘n’ R after a day of adventures. Swap adventure tales with fellow guests over cocktails in the bar, then dine on appetising Argentinian feasts cooked up with ingredients fresh from the forest – that’s our type of jungle boutique.

Our Favourite Rooms

The largest villa in the hotel, the Master Villa offers 150sq m of secluded jungle living space, complete with a plunge pool on the canopy-side terrace.

Poolside

There isn't a main pool, but each villa has a private plunge pool on their terrace so you can swim in seclusion.

Spa

The Natural Spa takes forest bathing to a new level: its three open-air decks are nestled in the Atlantic Rainforest, with the Iguazú River running below. While staring out at the verdant views, listening to jungle sounds, is a meditative experience, yoga, sound healing and wild swimming take the relaxation to another level. Also, massages can be arranged in the privacy of your own villa.

Also

All explorations are included with a personal guide. Guests can also join guides in their conservation efforts, which are focussed on protecting the Atlantic Rainforest and wildlife within.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Sip pre-dinner drinks at one of the high bar stools in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, then dine by one of the smaller, but with equally as impressive views, windows in the restaurant.

Dress Code

With only 14 suites at the hotel, the restaurant has a laidback dress code – dine in your jungle best or post-adventure activewear.

Hotel Restaurant

The elegant treetop restaurant is filled with relaxed, yet refined wooden furnishings and has large windows offering front-row jungle views. Using all-natural produce picked straight from the jungle, chef Aarón Castillo Tellería serves seasonal Misiones fare with international flare: expect rich and sophistication tastes, served with beautiful simplicity. Start with marinated pacú fish served with a mango and fennel salad, followed by tenderloin steak or dorado with cabutía pumpkin, saffron sauce and a pistachio praline, then finish the feast with a blue-cheese mousse with strawberries and sweet yacaratia wood, or papaya and lime gazpacho.

Hotel Bar

The wood-clad bar is set in the main lodge and is surrounded by lots of seating options. Choose between high bar stools or one of the deep sofas, then kick back and enjoy one of the fruity cocktails or local wines.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

While at the hotel you’ll have your own personal guide and 4WD on hand to explore the area. Misiones is part of the Atlantic Forest and, isolated from all other forests, is home to a great number of endemic species of animals and plants. Your guide can lead you along jungle trails that wind around endangered trees filled with tropical birds, and past rare orchids and ferns, unique to the Atlantic Rainforest; keep your eyes peeled and you may spot a puma, a tapir or two and a few capuchin monkeys hanging around. To enjoy the natural wonders with little exertion on your part, arrange a boat trip across one of the crystal clear pools and enjoy a picnic as the sun sets of the jungle canopy. One of the largest waterfalls in the world is just a 20-minute drive away, so a trip to the Iguazú Falls are a must at least once during your stay. The area has a few man-made wonders to experience, too; your guide can take you to see nearby Jesuit ruins and arrange visits to meet local Guarani tribes – you’ll see some of their artworks in your room – who know more about the rainforest than anyone else.
