Private Guides and Experiences
Millions visit the tumbling Iguazu Falls a year. However, once the park is closed, Awasi Iguazu provides exclusive access to both sides of the falls. Each villa is assigned a private guide to show you to the surrounding archaeological sites and learn about the cultures of the area. Awasi Iguazú biologists take you on private treks and vehicle rides to see the beautiful flora and fauna of the jungle. Bird watching is a popular pastime in this area where hundreds of birds like toucans and parrots inhabit the canopy of trees. Boat rides along the river with a sunset picnic offer a closer look of the natural wonders of the area around this luxury boutique hotel.
The legend of the falls is that a deity’s love for a beautiful maiden was not reciprocated so the god decided to chop up the River Iguazu, creating multiple waterfalls and condemning the lovers to an eternal fall. Today you can appreciate the falls roaring power and then retreat back to the tranquility of the Awasi Iguazú.
