Falls Iguazú Hotel & Spa can host a congress of up to 1,800 people, a gala dinner for 220, an open-air barbecue for 200 or a board meeting for 10. The hotel stands in the Iryapú jungle reserve on the edge of Puerto Iguazú, in the province of Misiones, Argentina, about 15 km from the Iguazú Falls.
Seminars and company events
The event spaces add up to more than 2,000 square meters. The largest, Ka'aguy, covers 1,200 square meters on two floors and holds up to 1,800 people, with built-in audiovisual equipment. It is the room for conferences, congresses and large seminars. Smaller groups can work in Arapí, a 51 square meter room for up to 60 people, which suits training sessions and presentations. Directorio Falls is a 24 square meter boardroom for up to 10 people. With 95 bedrooms on site, an incentive trip or a residential seminar can keep the whole group in one place, with the falls as the obvious excursion.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings, quinceañeras and private celebrations. El Fogón, an open-air space of 380 square meters surrounded by forest, is used for ceremonies, cocktails and receptions for up to 200 guests. The events team coordinates the day and adapts the catering to each event. Wedding packages include rooms for guests.

Accommodation
There are 95 bedrooms in three categories. Master rooms sleep two. Senior rooms take two adults and a child. Senior Family rooms take three adults and a child, or two adults and two children. Connecting rooms can be requested. The spa and the pool give delegates somewhere to rest between sessions.
Catering
Karumbe is the main restaurant, serving breakfast and a buffet dinner. Lembú serves à la carte lunches in an open gallery above the pool. Three bars, the Lobby Bar, the Pool Bar and the Güira Bar, cover the rest of the day. Both restaurants double as event spaces, so a group can move from a working session to a private dinner without leaving the building.
History and setting
The property sits on Lot 5 of the Iryapú jungle reserve, on Batalla Mbororé road. The setting is the subtropical forest of Misiones, close to the point where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet. Iguazú National Park, home to the falls, is about 20 minutes away by road, which makes the hotel a practical base for groups that combine work sessions with a visit to the falls.
Getting there
The international airport is about 20 minutes by car, and the center of Puerto Iguazú about 7 minutes. The falls are about 15 km away, roughly 20 minutes by road. There is no passenger rail service in the area, so groups usually fly in from Buenos Aires and continue by coach or private transfer.
