Depth by Design
At Awasi, evolution is deliberate.
Each lodge exists in dialogue with its terrain — guided by listening, refinement, and a commitment to connection. As landscapes shift with sun and season, so too does the way they are lived. Over the past year, a series of enhancements has extended access into the wild and deepened each guest’s sense of place.
On Brazil’s southern coast, Santa Catarina leans fully into restoration.
A 16,000-square-foot Wellness Center anchors the transformation, alongside an infinity pool suspended over ocean horizons and a gym framed by dense greenery. The new Explorer Room turns planning into ritual: maps unfurled, routes traced, experiences shaped before departure. With new 4×4 vehicles and boats charting the coastline, guests move further into hidden coves and the living culture of the caiçara coast.
In the Atacama Desert, improvements focus on comfort and access without disturbing the landscape’s essence.
The new INEOS Grenadier vehicles extend private excursions deeper into salt flats, lagoons, and volcanic terrain. At the lodge, renewed communal spaces refine shared moments — from a refreshed reception and expanded boutique to restaurant windows framing the desert horizon. The pool gathers guests at dusk, with new lounges and a bar positioned for sunset. Nearby, a new fire pit glows beneath star-filled skies, where stories stretch into the desert night.
Iguazú shifts from spectacle to intimacy.
Exclusive train access to Devil’s Throat allows guests to experience the falls in rare stillness, arriving before the crowds. From the lodge’s riverfront position, boats depart directly into the rainforest, tracing quieter channels of the Iguazú River. A private river deck becomes the setting for picnics and pause; treenet hammocks suspend you within the canopy itself. The jungle is no longer a backdrop. It becomes part of the experience.
Patagonia’s drama needs no embellishment — only better reach.
A fleet of INEOS Grenadier cars expands exploration into wind-carved valleys and condor territory, while illuminated walkways protect the soil underfoot. Lenga-wood decks warm the edges of outdoor hot tubs, bringing relief after long days outdoors.
In Mendoza, exploration becomes more fluid.
New 4×4 vehicles ensure easy access through vineyards and Andean foothills, while electric bicycles introduce a slower, scenic rhythm — whether riding between wineries or along quiet property trails. The landscape is not only tasted, it is traversed.
The improvements are intentional.
The landscapes remain untamed.
The experience grows deeper.

Guided by Nature: Discovering Iguazú Through a Local’s Eyes
There are places so alive, so layered, that they ask not to be rushed. Iguazú is one of them. Beneath its roaring waterfalls and tangled rainforest canopy lies something far more powerful than a list of sights to see: a rhythm, a presence, a quiet invitation to pay attention. For Ayelén de León Belloc, private guide at Awasi Iguazú, that invitation is what defines every journey through this unique corner of Argentina.
