"Our stay at Nanegal exceed all expectations. We visited primarily for birding and during our four night stay I was able to photograph 60 new species. Many more were observed and heard. For such a short visit. The number of birds we encountered was remarkable. Loved the night walk!I cannot say enough positive things about Mauricio. His English was excellent, especially helpful, given our limited Spanish, and he proved to be an outstanding birding guide. He was able to call in every bird I had hoped to see, and his knowledge, patience, and kindness made the experience exceptional. He provided service far beyond guiding, and my sisters, and I truly enjoyed spending time with him. We were generally sad to leave what felt like a new friend. Mirma was equally extraordinary. Every meal she prepared was outstanding, beautifully planned, full of local flavor, & absolutely delicious. She is a gifted chef, and we felt genuinely cared for with each dish. We even hope to bring some of her culinary customs into our own cooking. She was also incredibly kind and assisted us with some laundry, which would greatly appreciated. Mauricio supported with cooking & serving as well, creating a thoughtful and memorable dining experience each day. David, the owner, provided excellent communication before, and during our stay. The detailed directions, suggestions on what to bring, and guidance for planning. We’re extremely helpful.We highly recommend visiting! This place is a dream come true! "

"The seamless integration of nature, sustainability, and luxury is what truly sets Mashpi Lodge apart. From immersive guided experiences in the Chocó rainforest to thoughtfully curated cuisine rooted in local sourcing and Ecuadorian traditions, every aspect of the stay felt intentional and enriching. The level of personalization throughout—from dining and excursions to wellness offerings—created a sense of ease and connection, allowing us to fully engage with the environment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The balance between adventure and restoration was exceptional, particularly the guided walks and the tranquil spa experiences set within the rainforest itself. Above all, the lodge fosters a deep appreciation for conservation and biodiversity, transforming the visit into not just a stay, but a meaningful and memorable journey."
