"A glass-walled luxury bubble in Ecuador’s Chocó-Andean Cloud Forest, Mashpi pairs floor-to-ceiling windows that feel like a treehouse with expert guides who lead hikes to giant butterflies and tame hummingbirds, hot tubs overlooking the valley, and a leading conservation mission that leaves guests feeling inspired." - CNT Editors

"Set within a private nature reserve spanning some 3,000 acres in the cloud forest of Ecuador’s interior, you’d be happy with just about any old hotel—but Mashpi Lodge is not that; it’s very modern and very luxurious, with a remarkably small ecological footprint." - Guide MICHELIN

"This glass-walled building is a bubble of understated luxury in Ecuador’s Chocó-Andean Cloud Forest, the densest spot of biodiversity on Earth. Your own personal guide will take you on hikes through the forest to find butterflies the size of your hand and hummingbirds that will feed from your fingers. In your downtime you can wallow in hot tubs that look over the valley or listen to the sounds of the forest from your room, which has floor-to-ceiling windows that make you feel as if you’re in a tree house. Mashpi leads the world in inspirational conservation, leaving you full of passion and wonder. From $1,595. —Ash Bhardwaj" - CNT Editors
