"My husband and I loved the property. The beauty of this property was a perfect mix of natural and well manicured gardens. Marco (the manager) is an amazing help with all the joy and energy you could ask for. Our room was simple with a a floor to ceiling wall of sliding glass windows and amazing view for watching birds. We also dined each meal breakfast and dinner at the restaurant Brito. For lunch we walked to the town of Mindo and found some adorable and authentic spots to eat. Hiking is wonderful from a simple cable car ride across a valley to see many waterfalls. If you desire more extreme sports , there is so much to do nearby, but we loved our time just hiking and relaxing in Mindo."

"The seamless integration of nature, sustainability, and luxury is what truly sets Mashpi Lodge apart. From immersive guided experiences in the Chocó rainforest to thoughtfully curated cuisine rooted in local sourcing and Ecuadorian traditions, every aspect of the stay felt intentional and enriching. The level of personalization throughout—from dining and excursions to wellness offerings—created a sense of ease and connection, allowing us to fully engage with the environment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The balance between adventure and restoration was exceptional, particularly the guided walks and the tranquil spa experiences set within the rainforest itself. Above all, the lodge fosters a deep appreciation for conservation and biodiversity, transforming the visit into not just a stay, but a meaningful and memorable journey."
