Metropolitan Touring
The lodge – located a mere two and a half hours northwest of Quito – was built with the latest in low-impact techniques
and is deeply committed to the sustainability of its forest through its integration of the local population. It is designed
to blend beautifully with its surroundings, hardly noticeable amid the forest: a cosy cocoon in a unique location, with a
warm climate year-round.
Mashpi is a place for adventure and discovery. Nature trails wind through the forest, leading to waterfalls, rivers and
hidden treasures. Night-time walks provide encounters with local residents such as beautiful glass frogs. The aerial
canopy tram allows deeper appreciation of the most active part of the forest, while the lodge is surrounded by a world-
class collection of orchids and epiphytes.
The lodge accommodates a maximum of 36 guests in 18 ample and stylish suites, some connecting. Their huge picture
windows make guests feel part of the surroundings, where, at night, the only lights are the dance of myriad ? re? ies. It
includes a spa with Jacuzzi and specialized massages and treatments, while the culinary creations of our chefs conjure
? avours and aromas from ingredients such as naranjilla, papaya, palm heart, coffee, chocolate and plantain.
Our passion for sharing our knowledge of the forest will make it come alive, help you understand it, and return from it
with new eyes.</p>
