1. Awasi Iguazú, Puerto Iguazú

Awasi Iguazú, owned and operated by the Awasi chain, which also stands behind the luxurious properties under the same name in Chile, the Awasi Atacama, and the Awasi Patagonia, is a member of the world-renowned Relais & Châteaux properties. The Awasi Iguazú villas feature an expansive and airy feel with a full sitting area as well as an indoor jacuzzi bath looking out to the privacy of the jungle and a private plunge pool in each. Each of the 14 luxury villas has been built as a stand-alone structure, set on stilts and looking out onto its own expanse of jungle.

Aarón Castillo Telleria is the Venezuelan head chef who began his Awasi journey in Patagonia and came to Iguazú when it opened. He finds unique, local ingredients in the jungle, and puts flavor and detail into each dish. A favorite is the cream of maize, coriander, lime, and orange served with maize popcorn, lime, salt, and cacao. It’s all Michelin-standard but not too fussy. Awasi is always all-inclusive, meaning all meals and alcohol. Have lunch at the lodge or take a gourmet picnic into the wilderness if you’re out and about—with tablecloths and wine.
