The Wildlife & Nature Reserve area, which covers 570 hectares (1.408 acres), is part of the 270.000 hectares (666.900 acres) of protected Rainforest; shared by Brazil and Argentina and known as the "green corridor". Yacutinga Wildlife & Nature Reserve still maintains richness in bio-diversity, far away from massive tourism concentration. You can enjoy diverse out-door activities with a soft adventure and eco-tourism focus, such as; floating, bird-watching or hiking which will provide you with a variety of information unlocking the mysteries and peculiarities of the Rainforest.
The facilities consist of separate sleeping areas called "Butterflies" (due to the amazing variety that congregate here), spread through the forest around the common areas. Each Butterfly contains four private suites, all with the comfort of 42 sq. meters. The suites provide split-level accommodations with rustic details comprised of an entrance porch leading, a bedroom and bathroom. Each suite has private facilities (shower & WC) with 24-hour warm water. Suites are available for double, twin and triple occupancy. During wintertime, wood stoves provide heating in remembrance of the colonial period. Nice jungle views are common to all suites, providing a relaxing environment, in-touch with the "green".
One needn't stray far from the lodge to enjoy this spectacle of nature as the common areas have a high concentration of butterflies, which create clouds of colors.
Yacutinga Nature Reserve is home for hundreds of species of mammals, birds and reptiles.
In addition to this magnificent jungle, the province contains several ruins of Jesuit Missions, declared by the UNESCO as a Human Cultural Heritage area.
The Iguaz? Falls are an important highlight of any travel-plan to South America, and can easily be reached from Buenos Aires (Argentina), Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo (Brazil). From the falls, traveling through the heart of the Iguaz? National Park and some Argentine State Parks to reach the Yacutinga Lodge & Wildlife Nature Reserve, you are completely surrounded by the sights and sounds of the jungle. As the nature reserve is surrounded on three sides by over 5 km of the Iguaz? River, the final leg of your journey to the lodge is by boat. The Lodge can be reached easily from Puerto Iguaz? (Argentina) or Foz do Iguazu (Brazil)
