La Aldea de la Selva Lodge

Deep in the heart of the Misiones subtropical rainforest, La Aldea de la Selva Lodge offers an immersive “jungle-chic” experience just minutes from the breathtaking Iguazú Falls. Designed to coexist with its vibrant ecosystem, the lodge is built on stilts and connected by elevated wooden walkways, allowing the natural flora and fauna to thrive undisturbed beneath. It is a sanctuary for travelers who want to trade city noise for the symphony of tropical birds and the rustle of ancient ferns, all while enjoying the comforts of a high-end eco-resort.

Rooms & Accommodation

The lodge features 82 spacious rooms that blend rustic charm with modern elegance. Crafted from local sustainable woods like Anchico and Guatambú, the accommodations feature private balconies equipped with traditional hammocks—the perfect vantage point for spotting toucans or monkeys in the canopy. Guests can choose from Studio, Standard, or Superior rooms, each offering high ceilings, large windows for natural ventilation, and plush bedding. For a touch of luxury in the wild, the bathrooms are finished with regional stone and offer forest views that ensure you never feel disconnected from nature.

Dining

The El Nido Restaurant is a culinary highlight, set within a grand wooden structure that opens up to the jungle air. The menu is a tribute to the “Guaraní” heritage and regional flavors, featuring river fish like surubí and pacú, infused with local herbs and tropical fruits. Mornings begin with a tropical breakfast buffet of homemade breads and exotic juices, while the Pool Bar serves refreshing yerba mate-infused cocktails and light snacks throughout the afternoon, providing a perfect cool-down after a day of exploring the humid trails.

 Facilities

The centerpiece of the lodge is its stunning tiered outdoor pool complex, which mirrors the cascading spirit of the nearby waterfalls. Surrounded by a spacious solarium and lush greenery, it offers a refreshing oasis in the jungle heat. The property also features a serene Wellness Area with a hydromassage tub and a “relaxation bridge” over a natural stream. For business or social gatherings, the lodge provides a unique jungle-view convention center, blending professional amenities with an inspiring, verdant backdrop.

Activities

Strategically located near the entrance to Iguazú National Park, the lodge is the ultimate base for visiting the “Garganta del Diablo” (Devil’s Throat). Beyond the falls, guests can engage in birdwatching tours, nocturnal jungle walks, or visits to nearby indigenous Mbyá Guaraní communities. For the more adventurous, the lodge can coordinate rappelling, canopy ziplining, and “nautical adventures” that take you right to the base of the thundering falls. After a day of adventure, the lodge’s library and fireplace lounge offer a quiet space to reflect on the day’s discoveries.
