Closer to Quito than the Amazon rainforest, yet offering the same adventure experience, Mashpi Lodge is every nature lover’s dream. Following all health and safety protocols, Mashpi Lodge is the place to encounter 400 species of birds, trees, frogs, endemic species found nowhere else in the world, complete with crashing waterfalls and incredible flora. Get ready to trek down hidden paths, splash through rivers, rise at dawn to spot rare birds, or fly high above it all aboard our Dragonfly Canopy Gondola.
At Mashpi Lodge, the world around us is alive and breathing, waiting for us to begin our descent into its magical embrace…
Ride on the Dragonfly Canopy Gondola and glide high amongst the tree-line and take in nature’s masterpiece or take to the many paths and trek within, marveling at numerous rivers and falls. Stand at a distance and perceive how each part comes together to form the whole and then experience it up-close. Enjoy amazing day hikes and then wander by night with our night-time guided tours and discover the forest in all its wonder. Whatever you choose to do, Mashpi’s attractions and exploratory activities have virtually every angle covered…
Our mission is to explore and share the formidable and fresh potential of Ecuadorian cuisine.
Mashpi Lodge is a space for you to nourish your mind, body and soul amidst exquisite, natural beauty.
From fine jewelry to handy expedition clothing, we have a wide array of items just for you.
Mashpi would not be what it is without the collaboration of the local community. From the outset, we have sought to work hand-in-hand with those living in the areas surrounding the reserve, implementing an innovative program in which they, as well as Lodge employees, become shareholders in the enterprise. The lodge not only provides job opportunities for members of its neighbouring towns: it also seeks to be a partner in the region’s development, setting it on a more sustainable path for the future.
