What’s it like to stay at Ecuador‘s highly-rated Mashpi Lodge? A stay at Mashpi Lodge makes an excellent addition to vacations in the Galapagos Islands and the Ecuadorean Highlands. We’ve explored Mashpi extensively on multiple visits.
Mashpi Lodge rests on a ridge at 3,117 feet above sea level, within a 3,000-acre private reserve. Nearly all of the reserve’s land is forested, and roughly 70% is virgin primary forest.This super-biodiverse habitat, known as Choco, is a transition between lower montane rainforest and Andean cloud forest.
Here are some of our favorite memories.
