Explore the Skies with our SkyBike

Commonly regarded as one of our most exciting activities at Mashpi, the Sky Bike provides an exhilarating journey through and over the lush canopy of a small piece of Mashpi’s massive Reserve. And it’s worth getting excited for because it offers a unique opportunity to experience the majesty of nature from an entirely new perspective!

Situated within walking distance from the Lodge, this tandem bike sails across smoothly by means of a zipline cable, letting you and a partner soar above a serene river and the dense foliage below. Children and adults alike can safely revel in this exciting adventure, allowing them to glide through and over nature’s breathtaking tapestry.

From pedaling to towering heights, every angle reveals astounding views

As you actively pedal along the cable, you can enjoy a number of things such as, but not limited to: spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding rainforest, lush vegetation, meandering rivers, and forest-covered mountains. You will also be able to observe the animal world that thrives at Mashpi, which will likely include colorful butterflies, exotic birds, and possibly other spectacular wildlife inhabiting the region!

The Andean Choco is a fantastic place to disconnect and relax amidst flora and fauna in a unique environment. If you are looking for an experience that blends excitement, nature, and a deeper connection with the magical region of the Andean Choco, then the Sky Bike is the perfect choice.

So, seeking a blend of thrill and tranquility? The Sky Bike is your ticket to an unforgettable journey in the heart of nature’s wonders. Join us at Mashpi and let yourself be carried away by this unique experience that will make you feel like you are pedaling in the clouds!

Skybike Adventure at Mashpi Lodge

What’s it like?

The Sky Bike experience at Mashpi spans between two stations (544 feet/200 meters apart) connected by a sturdy cable. The unique and silent bicycle system, which is suspended high above the forest floor, can accommodate two riders at once, with one person “powering” the journey by pedaling.

As the Sky Bike duo move along the aerial pathway, the one pedaling can pause their journey at any point, allowing them to marvel at the biodiversity around and below. The entire trip, from one station to the next and back, takes approximately 10-20 minutes, depending on how fast you wish to go. Ultimately, it grants riders an unparalleled and intimate perspective of the rainforest.
