Protecting What Makes These Places Exceptional

At Awasi, conservation isn’t a separate initiative. It’s the foundation of the experience.

Across South America, each lodge is shaped by the landscapes and communities that surround it. From wildlife corridors in Patagonia to regeneration projects in Santa Catarina and partnerships in Iguazú, every destination takes a different approach, guided by the same principle: safeguarding what makes it unique.

Patagonia: A Refuge for Wildlife

Awasi Patagonia sits within a private reserve of more than 3,000 acres, connected to one of the region’s most important wildlife corridors.

Bordering Torres del Paine National Park, the reserve supports species including guanacos, Andean condors, foxes, armadillos, and pumas. Glacial rivers, native forests, and protected terrain create the conditions wildlife needs to move freely and thrive.

For guests, this offers a rare opportunity: the chance to observe Patagonia’s wildlife in a landscape where nature remains firmly in control.

Iguazú: Conservation Through Community

Just steps from Awasi Iguazú lies the local Guaraní community, whose connection to the surrounding rainforest spans generations.

Through partnerships with the Guaraní people and organizations such as Escuela Esperanza, Awasi supports initiatives focused on education, cultural preservation, and long-term local development. These relationships help ensure that stewardship extends beyond the forest itself, supporting both the environment and the people who call it home.

A Shared Philosophy

In Santa Catarina, more than 10,000 native seedlings and thriving Melipona bee populations contribute to the regeneration of the Atlantic Forest. In Atacama and Mendoza, thoughtful water, energy, and land management practices help preserve some of South America’s most remarkable environments.

While each lodge takes a different approach, a shared philosophy guides the way Awasi operates.

Seasonal local ingredients support regional producers, while personalized à la carte dining helps minimize food waste. Local materials and traditional techniques are incorporated throughout the lodges, preserving local identity and craftsmanship. In Patagonia and Iguazú, elevated villas and shared spaces are carefully designed to reduce their impact on the surrounding environment and protect native vegetation.

Across every Awasi destination, conservation isn’t a backdrop. It’s the reason these landscapes, cultures, and traditions can still be experienced in their truest form.
