Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador · Virtuoso · 2027 benefits

Approximately 500 species of birds –around 36 of which are endemic– inhabit the Mashpi Reserve. It is also home to monkeys, peccaries, sloths, and even pumas. Naturalist guides lead explorers on treks to various points of interest: the Life Center, Observation Tower, Sky Bikes, and Dragonfly Gondola; traversing gentle streams, refreshing waterfalls, and exciting terrain along the way.

The strikingly contemporary Mashpi Lodge was designed as the ideal springboard for exploring the vast and biologically diverse world of its 2,500-hectare (6,178-acre) cloud forest reserve, which lies within the Metropolitan District of Quito. Explore the wonders of the forest, in the company of expert guides, aboard the mile-long Dragonfly cable car system, astride a sky bike, from the observation tower, at rivers and waterfalls, or along nature paths. The lodge, hosting 48 guests, is the perfect cocoon to return to after your explorations, thanks to its high standards of comfort, service, spa treatments, and gourmet cuisine.
