EXPLORING IGUAZU
Prior to your arrival at Awasi, we will ask you to complete a short questionnaire to inform us of your preferences, special interests, physical conditions, dietary requirements, and any other details that will help our team arrange an unforgettable trip, especially designed for you
The excursions at Awasi Iguazú are divided into zones and themes, the primary zone being the Iguazú Falls. Next, we explore the Atlantic Rainforest, an area of incredible beauty that surrounds the falls. Due to the fact that it is not connected to any other rainforest, the Atlantic Rainforest has 1000s of endemic plants and animals. What is more, it is Argentina’s most diverse area in terms of people and culture. Excursions include visiting 18th century Jesuit ruins; hidden waterfalls (as well as the famous ones); kayaking through the jungle; bird watching; viewing endemic flora and fauna; and sharing time with local Guarani tribes where guests can learn about ancient artisan crafts and the tribes’ relationship with the rainforest. We hope our guests will leave with an idea of the immense beauty of the Atlantic Rainforest and the importance of conservationism in the area. In terms of duration, excursions are divided into full-day outings ( from 6 to 10 hrs.), with picnic lunch included; or half-day excursions (between 4 and 6 hrs.), returning for lunch at Awasi. After excursions, guests can return to their villa to relax by their private plunge pool.
