Awasi Iguazu is set in one of the last remaining parts of the Atlantic Rainforest, one of the most biodiverse areas of Argentina and one of the best places in the world for bird-watching and butterfly-spotting. Sadly, the rainforest is rapidly decreasing in neighboring areas due to deforestation. At Awasi, we work towards the preservation of this ecosystem through numerous initiatives.

Relais & Chateaux, the association of 580 hotels and restaurants worldwide (including Awasi Atacama, Patagonia, Iguazu, Santa Catarina and Mendoza), published its first sustainability report for 2022. With data gathered via operation and consumption surveys taken by all its members, the report examines the environmental and social impact of its member properties and sets 15 goals to meet by 2030.

The United Nations Sustainability Development Goals are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Education, opportunities, equality and inclusion, applied to hospitality. Read about how Awasi works to meet these standards daily.

From recycling and rainwater usage to smart, eco-friendly villa designs and significant reforestation efforts, every aspect of Awasi Santa Catarina’s operation is designed with environmental care. We also prioritize community involvement, primarily employing local residents and supporting family-based teams.

Our Bee Route project reintroduces 5 native bee species to the environment, allowing guests to interact with and understand their crucial role in our ecosystem.
