Within Ecuador's Most Beloved Cloud Forest, A Luxury Lodge

Brightly-colored mariposas circle the area, and a special display shows how they develop from eggs to caterpillars, eventually forming into the creatures we know and love. But the most in-demand adventure of all in the realm of rainforests is the opportunity to soak at the base of the many waterfalls that dot Mashpi Reserve. Between them, you can jump from rock to rock while enjoying the iridescent orchids, lichens, and swirling mists.
