A hideaway in the forest only accessible to its privileged guests and located on a scenic plateau, the lodge features breath taking views of the surrounding forested mountains right up close through its floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass windows. Like a cathedral to the natural world, it protrudes from the verdant hillside, holding unknown comforts and pleasures within.
The wonders waiting at Mashpi Lodge will delight the worldliest nature lover. The world of Mashpi is yours to discover, to experience, to cherish, and our expedition leader and top trained naturalist guides – many of them native to the region – are here to assist you on your journey.
It seems unfathomable that such a wild and remote site could even be associated with a city, yet Mashpi lies within the Metropolitan District of Quito. The lodge perches at 950 metres (3,117 feet) above sea level and the reserve in which it is located ranges in altitude from 500 metres to 1200 metres above sea level.

Dining at Mashpi offers another form of exploration and delight: discover the regions and customs of Ecuador through the fresh local ingredients in our gourmet dishes, accompanied by sophisticated wines or cocktails.

Our cuisine combines modern techniques and permanent research, while also paying homage to Ecuador’s rich culinary heritage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1492715999077{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Restaurant” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:36px|text_align:left|color:%23161616|line_height:36px” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1498073683001{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”custom_text”]The Lodge’s towering Dining Room reaches up two-stories high, a dramatic setting for a lively gourmet experience.

Lunch is deliberately light, with a changing menu every day, mixing a wide variety of fresh vegetables, soups, sandwiches and a mix of classic and contemporary Ecuadorian dishes. Ceviche – served in different styles – might well feature. Again, delicious and refreshing fruit juices are on offer, and, to end the meal, a buffet of delicious desserts.
Dinner is a more formal affair. The theatrical setting of the two-story dining room accentuated by the subdued floor lamps creates an intimate and romantic ambience. The dinner menu changes according to season, and could include chicken, beef, fish, seafood and vegetarian dishes, all accompanied by mouth-watering side-dishes made with local ingredients and prepared with imagination and flair.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12961″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12962″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12963″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1492715999077{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Ready to relax?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30px|text_align:left|color:%23161616|line_height:32px” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1498074284117{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”A Sanctuary For Your Senses” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%23161616|line_height:36px” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1498074308566{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”custom_text”]Mashpi Lodge is a space for you to nourish your mind, body and soul, surrounded by exquisite natural beauty[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Wellness” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30px|text_align:left|color:%23161616|line_height:32px” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1498074331493{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”A tranquil place in the heart of the cloud forest” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%23161616|line_height:36px” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1498074355072{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”custom_text”]A place where your wellbeing is nurtured to harmonize with your inner self.
