“The Galápagos as few travelers will ever experience them.”
Where comfort meets wilderness...
Wake up to the sound of waves and fall asleep under a sky full of stars. Manglecito is a hidden beach camp where nature sets the pace and luxury means simplicity. Swim with sea lions, walk barefoot on volcanic sand, and feel the island's heartbeat.
This is Galápagos—raw, intimate, and unforgettable.
Manglecito is not simply a place to stay…
It is an invitation to experience the Galápagos in its purest form—wild, quiet, and unforgettable.
Our staff
Our staff, who are in charge of providing service and assistance, is made up of 1 field manager and 1 field assistant. The group will also always be accompanied by a naturalist guide who is certified by the Galapagos National Park.
Food & Dining
The dining area has tables and chairs covered by a tent, so guests have shade and are protected from the sun and possible rain.
Our menu is quite varied and locally sourced. Breakfasts consist of eggs, oatmeal, seasonal juice, fruits, bread, coffee, and tea. Lunch is usually served after activities aboard the boat, during the visit to Kicker Rock. For dinners, a variety of vegetables, pasta, fresh fish, and rice are offered.
Once we have the food restrictions of our guests, we take care of making a special menu for them, not just limiting their food options.
the tents
Our tents have the best sleeping cots and pillows, as well as sheets and a blanket for the coldest season (May to November). Originally designed for 6 people, we only have two guests in each tent.
Our staff will have all the tents set up and ready when guests arrive at the eco-lodge. Finally, with clients’ authorization, cleaning will be carried out while they are out doing activities.
Leave the ordinary behind. Discover the Galápagos as few ever will.
Hidden on a secluded beach in San Cristóbal Island, Manglecito Eco-Lodge offers a rare way to experience the Galápagos—intimate, wild, and deeply connected to nature. Designed for travelers who seek authenticity beyond traditional cruises and hotels, this private beachfront retreat blends sustainability, comfort, and adventure in one extraordinary setting.
Here, the rhythm of the islands surrounds you. Fall asleep beneath a sky filled with stars and wake to the sound of waves and the distant calls of seabirds. Spend your days kayaking along untouched coastlines, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters alive with marine life, and walking remote beaches where nature still leads the way.
Evenings unfold slowly. Fresh local meals, ocean breezes, and stories shared under the open sky create moments that feel timeless.
Bathroom, shower & sink
We have a bathroom tent and a toilet that are very similar to the ones you would find on an airplane; it has a container that is frequently cleaned by our staff.
We have a shower designed for rinsing off. However, the use of soap is not allowed in the guidance to the Galapagos National Park regulations.
We also have a sink where guests can wash their hands and face. The water is collected in a tank and then taken off-site.
