Lodging at Mashpi Amagusa
Staying the night at Mashpi Amagusa is magical.
Our thoughtfully designed lodge includes eight well-appointed rooms with private bathrooms and an expansive, covered balcony with comfortable seating and views of the surrounding foothills. In the early mornings, we take advantage of our balcony to observe birds that visit our Light Trap. But our overnight guests can hang out here at any time of day. Many birds come into the adjacent garden, including colorful Rose-faced Parrots that visit to eat bananas.

The Outdoor “Rooms” of our Lodge
Our upstairs restaurant is perched on an open balcony overlooking the property, offering stunning views of the surrounding cloud forest while you dine. It provides a wonderful area to hang out when not hiking or birdwatching.
A path from the restaurant leads up a short hill to two other “rooms” in our lodge. The first is our famous hummingbird garden. The second is our tanager viewing area, though many other birds are attracted to this area that abuts the native forest. Both of these viewing stations have roofs to protect our visitors from wet weather while allowing the birds free rein. In fact, some of our most frequent visitors find that hummingbirds perch on their cameras and cellphones, unafraid to commune with our guests.
Rooms at the Mashpi Amagusa Reserve
At the main lodge, we offer two cozy room styles, so each guest can choose the one that best suits their needs. We also include the following with lodge stays:
Free Guided Activities
A stay at our Mashpi Amagusa Lodge is more than a room to sleep in. We also include different guided activities for each day of your stay. When reserving, simply choose the type of tour you are most interested in under services: Birdwatching, Bird Photography, or Nature Lover. We will fine tune your visit when you arrive based on the weather, the birds, and you!
Nature On Demand
In your downtime, you have multiple options to hike our trails, stroll in the gardens, relax on our balcony, set up on any of observation decks, or hang out in the dining room with view of the largest garden and the birds that visit it.
Delicious Food
From your first evening to your final morning with us, we provide all meals. We plan breakfast and lunch around your schedule of activities. Dinner is always served in the early evening. We have coffee, tea, and water available at all times. We can also arrange extra meals, snacks, and box lunches. Please let us know in advance. Note: Those staying in the Guest House have the option to bring and prepare their own meals in the home’s kitchen.
Comfortable Accommodations
Our accommodations are thoughtfully designed for your comfort. Each space features comfortable beds, private bathrooms with hot showers, and practical storage for your gear. After an exhilarating day of birdwatching or hiking, you’ll have a welcoming retreat where you can relax and rejuvenate surrounded by the cloud forest.
King Rooms
Each of our 3 King Rooms is perfect for couples who enjoy sharing a bed and experiencing the cloud forest together, with plenty of space to relax after a day of hiking.
Double Rooms
Each of our 5 Double Rooms comes with two comfortable Queen beds, ideal for friends, families, or those who prefer their own sleeping space — such as siblings, travel companions, or parents with a child.
The Guest House at Mashpi Amagusa Reserve
The Guest House is a more independent way to experience Mashpi Amagusa — ideal for travelers who prefer to set their own pace or cook their own meals. You’re still steps from the same gardens, feeders, and forest. We also include the following with Guest House stays:
Comfortable Accommodations
Our guest house includes 2 bedrooms, bathrooms with shower and soaking tub, kitchen, dining room, living room, and balcony with seating and a jacuzzi tub. After a day of adventure, you can relax in the privacy of your own home away from home.
Your Own Kitchen
The Guest House has a full kitchen for self-catering. Just be sure to bring your own groceries as the closest store is 45 mintues away! Prefer to eat at the Lodge? We’re happy to arrange meals with advance notice.
Nature On Demand
The guest house is surrounded by nature which you can enjoy from the property itself. Additionally, the property is steps away from the main reserve, where you have the same options to visit the hummingbird garden or tanager feeders, hike the trails, hang out at an observation deck, or swim in the river near the waterfall.
Guided Activities
A local guide can be arranged for an additional fee — just let us know when you reserve.
Guest House
A separate, fully-equipped home within Mashpi Amagusa, perfect for families and groups seeking privacy and independence.
