Stilted rainforest lodge
Boardwalks weave through stilted canopy pavilions, where dedicated guides tailor private four-wheel-drive expeditions into the surrounding Atlantic Rainforest.
“The 14 jungle villas are spaced along cobbled pathways from the main lodge. Each is white, light, and airy…”

What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
14 villas decorated in a handsomely subdued modern-rustic style comprise the accommodations.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the Iguazú River in the dense Selva Iryapú, the lodge sits twenty minutes from Iguazú Falls.
The rooms
Whitewashed timber villas feature split-level living areas, deep soaking tubs, and wrap-around wooden decks with private plunge pools.
The plunge pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Semi-heated plunge pools sit on each villa's wooden terrace, surrounded by tree canopy and lantern-lit sun loungers.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The main lodge serves regional river pacú and Argentine wines on an open-air deck overlooking the forest.
Comprising just 14 raised stand-alone villas, including one two-bedroom master suite, the resort is the work of Buenos Aires-based designers Eugenia Choren and Patricia Diedrichs.
How it began
Bórquez Wolff Arquitectos built the fourteen villas on stilts in 2018 to keep the rainforest floor completely undisturbed.
