Mashpi Lodge
At Mashpi Lodge we are motivated to please your wishes and interests, therefore, we do not have a set program. We'll make suggestions on highlights we think you'll like, but you get to choose how you enjoy your time with us. Here are some examples of how you can make the most of your time at the Lodge.
BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE ITINERARY:
The adventure begins upon arrival at Mashpi Lodge, the estimated time of arrival is at 12:00. In the afternoon you can go out for an activity that could include taking an introductory walk through our magical forest. Afternoon activities begin at 3:00 p.m.
When night comes, a new group of creatures emerge, your guide might point out the frogs (some are transparent!), snakes and tarantulas that are found during a night walk.
The next day could start at sunrise on the panoramic terrace, watching -and hearing- a flock of birds flying around the lodge. After breakfast, you can walk to a waterfall, bathe in the dramatic water jet, and then head to the Hummingbird Garden. Another option is to discover the wonderful butterflies at the Life Center.
After lunch, you can cycle between two points in the forest about 200m apart on the Aerial Bike, followed by reaching and climbing the Observation Tower to enjoy the Reserve in its entirety and watch the sun set behind the mountains and clouds…
For the evening, we have prepared a series of talks: the “Hidden wildlife of Mashpi”, the “Chocó, a biological hotspot” about the formation and diversity of the Chocó, or about our scientific research projects. The talks will be given by one of our naturalists or our resident biologist at 7:30 p.m.
You may want to save the best for the last day; you can explore other trails in the forest, go to a different waterfall or find a corner to contemplate and reflect on your experience.
Note: There is free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, but it has a better connection in public areas.
It is important to know that the maximum allowed arrival time at Mashpi Lodge is until 3:00 p.m
