Welcome to Mashpi Lodge – your gateway to the incredible biodiversity of Ecuador’s cloud forests.
With endless views over the mist-strewn valleys, forests and hills of the lush Tumbez-Choco-Darien bio-region, Mashpi Lodge is one of our favourite stays in Ecuador.
Spend your days here hiking through the jungles with naturalist guides, listening to the melodies of over 400 bird species echo through the canopy above. Venture through the clouds aboard the sky bike. Navigate trails until you hear the thunderous applause of waterfalls, keeping your eyes peeled for howler monkeys and elusive tayras. When evening falls, savour Ecuadorian dishes that burst with the flavours of the forest in the lodge’s restaurant. Or retreat to the open-air hot tub for a soothing moment amid the greenery.
