"This place is so peaceful and its setting can’t be more relaxing. Our room was big, clean and had an amazing view of the forest. We were able to walk around and check out the river, the butterfly sanctuary and did a little bit of exploring. The restaurant has a great variety of food. Breakfast is really good, everything with no exception is homemade! I can’t say enough good things about the staff! They play a big role on why this place feels peaceful, I felt at ease and very comfortable here, thanks Angel and Brian for being so attentive, welcoming and accommodating! Can’t wait to go back soon!"

"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."
