Awasi Iguazu is located on the Argentine side of the Iguazú Falls.
Along with Awasi’s flagship properties in Chilean Patagonia & the Atacama Desert, Awasi Iguazu offers one of the most sybaritic hotel experiences in South America. After a day of adventure at the Iguazú Falls, you will be utterly spoiled on your return to Awasi. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the plunge pool, indulge in a cocktail at the bar in the main lodge & relax over a delicious dinner in the restaurant.

Iguazú Falls, said to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is Argentina’s showstopper.
Hearing the thunderous roar of cascading waters & feeling the falls’ spray as you approach by boat is incredible. We recommend allowing a full day to explore both the Argentine & Brazilian sides of the falls, wandering the walkways in the morning to take in spectacular views, & then in the afternoon, enjoying a boat trip, or even a helicopter ride, to observe Iguazú’s sheer enormity & the beauty of mother nature at her most powerful.
There’s also plenty more to explore in the surrounding rainforest, one of Argentina’s most diverse & unexplored regions. Learn about the thousands of endemic plants & animals. Discover the region’s landscape, culture & history, visit archaeological sites such as 18th Century Jesuit ruins, trek through the jungle to meet with local Guarani tribes to learn about their ancient artisan crafts, & bird watching on a beautiful boat ride to a sunset picnic. Each excursion is personalised & handcrafted for you by Awasi’s professionally trained guides in archaeology, history, flora & fauna.
There are direct flights to Puerto Iguazu (IGR) from cities across Argentina, such as Salta, Buenos Aires & Córdoba. For those coming from Brazil, there are direct flights to Foz de Iguaçu (IGU) from Sao Paulo & Rio de Janeiro.
Awasi includes private transfers from and to Puerto Iguazu (30 minutes) & Foz de Iguaçu (1 hour). From Posadas, it is a 4-hour drive.
When to Travel
The falls are spectacular & flowing all year round. However, we recommend visiting between late March to May, or August to early October.
Late March to May is the dry season & boasts sunshine, manageable heat & less chance of being caught in the rain! With the exception of Easter weekend, the park is also less crowded.
August to early October is also dry, but the weather is a little cooler, making it an excellent time to explore the rainforest.
During these periods of lower rainfall, the waterfalls aren’t at their peak, but they are no less impressive.
Between December & February, the falls have their highest water levels. That being said, the high rainfall can mean some hiking trails are closed & the park is crowded as Brazilians and Argentinians take their summer holidays.
