As dawn’s first light makes its way across the Mashpi Reserve, an aerial adventure awaits atop the canopy. Our Guides beckon you to mount the Sky Bike, a unique and extremely safe contraption that allows you to glide above the treetops, offering unparalleled views of the forest below. Every time you pedal on the Sky Bike, you’ll gradually move across and over the breathtaking expanse of nature, allowing you to admire wonders that range from vibrant birds taking their morning flight to the misty layers of morning mist that weave through the verdant landscape.
As dawn breaks and the sun comes up, the morning mist gracefully retreats, unveiling the verdant tapestry of the forest below. Delicate drizzles of light morning rain drop across the canopy of brilliant leaves, and trickle down to replenish the Earth below. Amidst this, the mighty Mashpi River and its intricate web of tributary creeks and ravines weave their way throughout the Reserve.
Of the nearly 30 cascading waterfalls that grace the Mashpi Reserve, only four are accessible to our Guests, while certain others can be admired at a distance from the comfort of the Dragonfly Canopy Gondola. With cascading waters that range from 64 °F to 68 °F (18 °C to 20 °C), Mashpi’s four accessible waterfalls invite you to safely indulge in their cleansing and invigorating embrace. After all, there’s nothing like a refreshing dip at the end of a hike!
At the Mashpi Reserve, our Dragonfly allows you to experience an unparalleled sensation when they fly through and over the forest. As you slide along the Dragonfly’s cable system in an open gondola, you’ll have a 360° view of the remarkable grandeur of the surrounding ecosystem.
Not far from the Lodge itself, the Dragonfly Canopy Gondola awaits. Once you hop onboard, you’ll embark on an exhilarating odyssey that few have the privilege to experience. Our open-air gondola will allow you to soar gracefully above and over the lush canopy. As you glide seamlessly along the Dragonfly’s advanced cable system, every angle offers a panoramic spectacle, allowing you to drink in the awe-inspiring vastness of the verdant forest around you. It’s not merely a journey—it’s a 360° symphony of sights and sensations that unveils the marvels of the forest in its full, breathtaking splendor. Join us on this aerial treat and let the Dragonfly redefine your understanding of wonder and beauty!
