“Absolutely unique Ecuadorian hotel in the middle of the cloud forest. Luxurious room, great food and fabulous range of activities including the "Dragonfly" a cable car across the tree tops and an observation tower. Was only there overnight but saw huge variety of wildlife. Guides were very knowledgeable able to identify everything and great at spotting hard to see birds and animals. Wish I'd been able to stay longer.”

“Lovely location. Love that they do real research in combo with universities. Real reserve and protected by rangers. Happy that some of our money is going to this. Adventures are fun and easily adapted to suit individuals. Only complaint was that they had a hard time understanding vegetarian. Kept trying to serve us fish and meat. But the food was excellent when we got our veggie fare. Sugestión to have a few trails that are for guests to stroll without a guide in down times.”

Linda localização. Adoro que eles façam pesquisas reais em conjunto com as universidades. Reserva real e protegida por rangers. Feliz que parte do nosso dinheiro vá para isso. As aventuras são divertidas e facilmente adaptadas aos indivíduos. A única reclamação era que eles tinham dificuldade em entender os vegetarianos. Continuou tentando nos servir peixe e carne. Mas a comida era excelente quando pegamos nossa comida vegetariana. Sugestão de algumas trilhas que permitem aos hóspedes caminhar sem guia nos momentos de baixa.

Fantástico. Mashpi é mais que um "hotel" ou um "Lodge", é uma experiência que supera as expectativas, uma comida deliciosa e variada. Os quartos imaculados. Os funcionários são extremamente simpáticos e prestáveis, sempre prontos a ajudar. Os guias (estávamos com Wilfrido), se esforçam para dar uma experiência espetacular. Vale a pena de qualquer ponto de vista.

Uma das melhores experiências que tive até agora. Cerca de 3 horas de carro de Quito, mas a viagem vale a pena. Você consegue viver entre a natureza e toda a sua beleza. Confira nossa aventura no YouTube pesquisando The Ecuadorian and The Persian.Tínhamos um guia que falava inglês chamado Manolo, que fez um trabalho incrível. Provavelmente o melhor guia que já tive em qualquer excursão. Altamente recomendável se você estiver pronto para uma aventura.

One of the best experiences I’ve had so far. About a 3 hour drive from Quito, but the drive is completely worth it. You get to live amongst nature and all its beauty. Check out our adventure on YouTube by searching The Ecuadorian and The Persian.
We had an English speaking guide named Manolo who did an amazing job. Probably the best guide I’ve had on any tour. Highly recommend if you are up for an adventure.

Mashpi is a must go place when visiting Ecuador.
This private natural reserve offers guests great adventure and nature exploring experiences through the choco biome - one of the most biodiverse environments in the world. The modern designed hotel perfectly fits in the cloudy forest, and all rooms offer amazing views of the surrounding forest. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.
Each family group is assigned to a local guide during the stay. They support you to explore the reserve, while providing detailed explanation on the local fauna and flora. I was lucky to be guided by Manolo, an enthusiast of birds (he will help you identify and see any bird you are looking for) who was very friendly, supportive and made my experience in Mashpi unforgettable. Moreover, resident biologists provide you insights on conservation projects and allow you to further explore nature.
The hotel restaurant offers really good food. My only comment is that during the 3 days I stayed in Mashpi, all the starters in lunch and dinner for vegetarians were soups or creams, and desserts not always met the standards of main dishes, which were all superb. The drink menu is delicious, offering authoral options that allow you to enjoy the flavors of the choco in a cup of glass.
The environemntal and social sustainability and responsibility of Mashpi project makes the place even more special.
I will deffinitely come back.
