Testimonial

 Magical Experience of Nature & Hospitality

Staying in Mashpi Lodge is a magical experience. There are so many aspects that were wonderful but I think what surpassed my expectations was the level of hospitality and guest service. The entire staff is full of smiles and always seeking to provide you with whatever you need. This is done with great efficiency and communication. […]

I was impressed by the knowledge and safety considerations of all of the guides. […] The private reserve is stunning and the sky bike, dragonfly and various hiking trails and waterfalls allow one to enjoy it all in such a special way. It was convenient to book my stay at Casa Gangotena in Quito in conjunction with Mashpi as it is the same tour group. The Mashpi experience is amazing and unique and has been, without a doubt, the highlight of my vacation in Ecuador. Mil gracias.
