Restaurant writer Giles Coren and chef Monica Galetti head to the Andean Cloud Forest of Ecuador to work at Mashpi Lodge, a $10-million modernist hotel featuring a gondola cable car that whizzes guests a mile through the jungle canopy at a dizzying height. Which might explain why 70% of the staff are former loggers, who have become proud conservationists since taking on roles at Mashpi.
