The Belmond das Cataratas is located right on the edge of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the only hotel in Iguazú Falls National Park, this luxury vacation takes you right to the heart of the adventure. Enjoy exclusive access while the park is closed to the public and venture out at dawn to experience the sunrise over the falls. The interior is dominated by columns, ornate stucco work, Portuguese tiles, and fine hardwood furniture. In the elegant spa, you can enjoy soothing treatments and massages using only essences from the rainforest.
Nestled between lush jungle and magnificent waterfalls, Brazil's ultimate spa resort offers world-class treatments that use responsibly harvested ingredients from the rainforest to revitalize body and mind. If you're an early riser, set off with a guide on a refreshing morning hike along the trails of Iguazú National Park – before the park opens to other visitors. Night owls will particularly enjoy a full moon hike through the mystical jungle. Other highlights include a speedboat safari, an impressive helicopter flight over the waterfalls, or a visit to the bird park with over 160 exotic bird species.
Stay in a true tropical paradise: soothing Portuguese colonial furnishings lend each spacious room and suite an old-world elegance. Relax amid vibrant, handcrafted fabrics and admire the locally commissioned artwork adorning the walls. The junior suites feature a cozy living room where you'll find extra space to relax, and in the new pool suites, you can even splash around in your private pool. The magnificent Cataratas suites, on the other hand, entice with the ever-present whisper of waterfalls, which you can listen to on one of the four panoramic balconies.
Take a seat for a spectacular culinary experience in the depths of the Brazilian rainforest. Enjoy tender grilled dishes or delicate fusion cuisine while parrots squawk overhead and waterfalls roar nearby. The menu at Itaipu offers a tempting selection of typical Brazilian-international dishes, while Ipê offers a menu for all occasions. For dinner, there is a gaucho barbecue, among other things, that will make your mouth water. Last but not least, the Tarobá Bar is the perfect meeting place for drinks and socializing while the sun sets over the Iguazú Falls.
Green, pristine forests and the sound of water rushing uncontrollably into the depths characterize the surroundings of Belmond das Cataratas. Located in the heart of Iguazú National Park, there could be no more suitable place to set off on an exploration of the famous waterfalls. Friendly colors, fine fabrics, and carefully selected paintings by local artists define the hotel's interior. From some of the rooms and suites, you can even look directly out onto the Iguazú Falls or listen to the constant roar from your balcony. Explore the national park on long hikes or get your adrenaline pumping with activities such as kayaking, rafting, or a helicopter flight.
