Set at 950 metres above sea level, a pristine forest in a private reserve, protecting a piece of one of the planet’s biodiversity hot-spots. An opportunity of a close-up experience with 500 species of birds, trees and frogs found nowhere else in the world, together with incredible flora.
Hidden in the cloud forest of Ecuador’s Andean foothills, Mashpi Lodge is an Eco-friendly hotel, a modern monolith of recycled steel, tropical wood and glass built on land wrested from loggers. An ecosystem delicately preserved with the help of a team of naturalists and scientists at the lodge’s Life Centre.
This forest resort is a place where contemporary design moves in harmony with nature. With floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows throughout, nothing competes with nature here.
