"We had a lovely two days at the lodge. The staff were very attentive, polite and catered for all our needs. Luis the owner "

"We had a delightful stay. The room was clean and comfortable and restaurant was excellent. Focus here is on birding and wildlife, so it's not a luxury resort. We had a private early morning birding trip with guide and saw toucans! Really memorable....."

"Friendly staff! Within walking distance from bus stop and town. They arranged our tours for us when we requested( bird tour and chocolate factory). Rooms are wonderful! Beds and sheets are the BEST!"

"The seamless integration of nature, sustainability, and luxury is what truly sets Mashpi Lodge apart. From immersive guided experiences in the Chocó rainforest to thoughtfully curated cuisine rooted in local sourcing and Ecuadorian traditions, every aspect of the stay felt intentional and enriching. The level of personalization throughout—from dining and excursions to wellness offerings—created a sense of ease and connection, allowing us to fully engage with the environment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The balance between adventure and restoration was exceptional, particularly the guided walks and the tranquil spa experiences set within the rainforest itself. Above all, the lodge fosters a deep appreciation for conservation and biodiversity, transforming the visit into not just a stay, but a meaningful and memorable journey."
