HX Expeditions | Galápagos | Into Ecuador’s Cloud Forest – Episode 2 Follow Monty Halls into the rainforest reserve of Mashpi in this episode of The Enchanted Isles, where waterfalls, dense green canopies, and drifting mist make the landscape feel otherworldly. Mashpi Reserve is part of the Chocó-Andean biodiversity hotspot, one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth. Monty explains how travelling with HX Expeditions supports conservation and research here, and why spending a few nights at Mashpi Lodge before heading to the Galápagos Islands is far more than just a stopover.
