Your stay with us goes beyond simply being able to experience this beautiful place — it also helps us preserve it! Mashpi is part of the ecologically important Choco biogeographical region that spans Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
Unfortunately, only about 2% of the original forest belonging to the Choco-Andean forest remains intact. Your stay at Mashpi helps fund our research and the conservation efforts that are helping protect this last remaining patch. Additionally, we work hand-in-hand with the local community living around the Reserve.
Mashpi Lodge, designed to immerse you in the world of the surrounding forest, serves as a luxurious retreat in the middle of dense flora, delightful fauna, and stunning views. The Lodge’s rooms are spread across three different floors, and all of them are designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that are weather-sealed to keep the elements at bay while still allowing you to connect with the majestic world right outside comfortably.
Our Wawa (the Kichwa word for “baby”) Room is located on the first floor, at the Lodge’s northeastern end, and is ideal for a solo experience of Mashpi. This 228 square foot (21 square meters) room features a comfortable full-size bed and all the amenities of the larger rooms, offering a more minimalist feel without ever sacrificing comfort.
The Lodge, built with the latest techniques in sustainable construction, is designed to blend in beautifully with its surroundings. It features contemporary, minimalist decor that mixes warm earth tones, notes of bright color, clean lines, and striking angles with endless vistas.
Mashpi Lodge is a luxury cocoon in the clouds with the natural world right there, making it an ideal place for contemplation and relaxation. Below is a look at some of the spaces in the Lodge that will play a vital part in connecting you with the magic found at Mashpi.

This small, secret rooftop of the restored Casa Gangotena mansion peers over Plaza San Francisco in the center of Quito’s colonial Old Town, the world’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Order a Cedrón Spritz, a refreshing mix of rum, lemon, sparkling wine, and fresh lemon verbena (cedrón) syrup and leaf, then revel in the mesmerizing, real-time montage of daily life in Ecuador’s capital as it parades past.
A Font of information, Klaus has spent decades in the field, leading tours in the Amazon, Andes and Galapagos Islands. He hung up his guiding boots a few years back and now creates itineraries for the tour operator, Metropolitan Touring. Adrift in the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of miles from mainland South America, Galapagos is one of the most biodiverse locales on Earth.
Santa Cruz II is a replacement for the much-loved Santa Cruz, which plied the waters of the Galapagos for 36 years. It is not a new ship; it was built in 2002 and sailed as Mare Australis under the Australis cruise brand, operating expedition cruises around Cape Horn and to Antarctica. Metropolitan Touring bought the ship in 2015 and completely refurbished it, launching it as Santa Cruz II in October 2015.
When this modern, minimalist, glass-walled jungle lodge opened in 2012, it changed the accommodation game in South America. Arquitect Alfredo Ribadeneira’s “protective cocoon” would impress in a modern city; in the depths of an Andean cloudforest, it is wild, audacious and beautiful. Though only 70 miles from Quito, Maspi Lodge sits in splendid isolation, perched on a cliff at the end of an unsealed road.
