Ecuador, Pacto
Mashpi Lodge
(5 stars)Nestled within around 3000 acres of a nature reserve in the Chocó-Andean Cloud Forest, this glass and steel construction was considerately embedded into its surroundings, so as not to disturb a single tree. A high wooden walkway leads to a platform perfect for bird spotting, and there’s a hot tub so you can get closer to nature in spa luxury. Onsite, guests can explore the butterfly breeding and hummingbird gardens, many hiking trails and ride the Sky Bike and The Dragonfly cable car (stretching over a mile). Meals are served buffet-style in the restaurant and there are 24 bedrooms with full-length windows on at least one side.
