What to see and do at Awasi Iguazú
Iguazú Waterfalls – Upper & Lower Circuits
Explore Iguazú’s waterfalls from multiple vantage points, following walkways that lead to San Martín, Bossetti, and Dos Hermanas. Surrounded by dense rainforest, the paths are alive with birds, butterflies, and coatis. An early start offers quieter trails and a greater sense of immersion. The 3.5 km route is gentle and accessible, allowing for a more unhurried experience of the falls.
Iguaçu Waterfalls – Brazilian Side
The Brazilian side offers a wider perspective of the Iguazú Falls, with sweeping panoramic views across the entire waterfall system. A 1.5 km walkway provides a direct and accessible route, while a longer 12 km path from the park entrance offers a more active alternative by bike.
Iguazú National Park – Macuco Path
The Macuco Trail offers a quieter way to explore the rainforest beyond the main waterfalls. The 3.5 km path passes through dense jungle, with frequent sightings of butterflies, birds, and, occasionally, monkeys in the treetops. The route ends at Salto Arrechea, a 20-metre waterfall with a natural pool.
Alto Paraná River & Yasy Fall
From the lodge’s private deck, set off by boat to explore the Paraná River, South America’s second largest river and the natural border between Argentina and Paraguay. Navigate past hidden creek to the secluded Yasy Fall, continuing on to Awasi’s floating deck for kayaking along the river.
Horseback Riding
A horseback riding experience through the Atlantic Rainforest, passing through native trees and tropical vegetation within one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems.
Mbya Guaraní Community
As the original inhabitants of these lands and guardians of Iguazú, the Guaraní Community offers a unique cultural experience. Led by local guides, you will learn about their worldview, traditional hunting techniques, medicinal plants, and artisan crafts made from materials found in the jungle.
Güirá Oga Animal Refuge
Güirá Oga is a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre dedicated to the protection of native fauna in Misiones. Visiting this refuge offers insight into local conservation efforts and provides the opportunity to observe native species up close.
Puerto Península State Park
Located near Puerto Iguazú , this protected area offers an interpretive walk through the rainforest, with opportunities to observe signs of wildlife along the way. Camera trap images provide an additional glimpse into the animals that move through the area, often unseen.
El Ñandú – Iguazú National Park
A bike ride through a lesser-visited area of Iguazú National Park, following red-dirt paths through dense jungle. The route leads to the banks of the Iguazú River, behind the Devil’s Throat, where mist from the falls can sometimes be seen rising in the distance.
Monday Waterfall – Paraguay
Discover Salto Monday, one of Paraguay’s most impressive yet lesser-known waterfalls, set within the Atlantic Forest. Accessed by crossing into Paraguay via the Iguazú and Paraná rivers, the journey passes through the heart of the Triple Frontier, where Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina converge.
Yerba Mate Drying Mill
“Mate” is more than a beverage, it is a cultural staple across Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil. This experience explores the plantations, drying process, and production of one of the region’s key industries.
Triple Border Boat Ride
From the lodge’s private river access, travel by boat to the meeting point of the Iguazú and Paraná rivers — where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay converge. The experience combines time on the water with activities such as kayaking or paddleboarding, followed by a short rainforest walk to Awasi’s treenets overlooking the river.
Jesuit Missions
During the 17th and 18th centuries European Jesuit missionaries arrived in the Rainforest and lived side by side with the Guaraní Communities, building impressive reductions. It is the ruins of these buildings we can still see today.
Teyú Cuaré Reserve
Teyú Cuaré offers sweeping views over the Paraná River and surrounding cliffs, within a landscape that marks the transition between the Atlantic Forest and the grasslands of Corrientes.
Uruzú Ranger Station
One of the main access points to Urugua-í Provincial Park, this area is known for its well-preserved rainforest and high biodiversity. Its extensive trail network makes it a key destination for birdwatching, with the possibility of spotting larger mammals near salt licks.
