Day 1ARRIVAL AT MASHPI LODGE

Lush courtyard of Mashpi Lodge
On your journey to the Mashpi Lodge, pass by the western flank of the Andes, next to the “Middle of the World,” which marks the equatorial line. As you continue west, watch as the vegetation changes with every drop in altitude. After you’ve passed by the small town of Nanegalito, the archaeological site of Tulipe and various farming communities, you will arrive at the lodge. Upon arrival, talk with the expedition staff about your interests and abilities and plan your activities for the duration of your stay. All excursions and activities are up to you.

After enjoying lunch, head out for your afternoon activity. This activity could include a hike through the forest followed by an amazing experience gliding above the treetops in the Dragonfly aerial cable car. When the sun sets, a new set of wildlife will emerge. Head outside for a night walk, accompanied by an experienced guide, and look for frogs, snakes, insects, and even tarantulas.
