Exploration activities
Find the explorer inside you. We have prepared all kinds of amazing activities you may find interesting when you arrive at Mashpi Lodge.
Mashpi lab
It’s one thing to glimpse the mega-diverse flora, fauna, and beauty of the Andean tropical forest; another entirely to understand and appreciate what you’ll see.
Mashpi Lodge, set amid 6,177 acres of cloud forest, assures that guests will be able to do both with its interactive Mashpi laboratory.
Dragonfly
At the Mashpi Reserve, “our” Dragonfly allows you to experience a sensation like that of these creatures when they fly through the forest. As you slide through the cable system in an open gondola you have a 360° view of this grandiose ecosystem, the Chocó cloud forest.
Night walks
Mashpi Lodge offers some amazing nighttime activities, through which you can explore the Mashpi Reserve after night falls.
It allows you to listen and appreciate the songs, colors and behaviors of various frogs, snakes, and insects. Surprises await around every corner!
