Amazing day in Mindo

We had the best time with Wilson in the Mindo cloud forest. He had great planned stops and made perfect personalized recommendations along the way. Zip lining was a blast. Even the car ride to and from Quito was a lot fun, our carpool karaoke session will go down as one of my favorite family memories. Highly recommend taking a tour with Wilson.

Once-In-A-Lifetime Tour

Highly recommend this tour with Isra and Linda!! It is in the top 5 experiences of my entire life, and that means a lot coming from a solo adventurer. I witnessed incredible biodiversity in the cloud forest and learned about two of Ecuador’s crafts: coffee and chocolate! Isra and Linda were wonderful guides — very informed but chill and accommodating. Appreciated their careful planning and enthusiasm for the Mindo area.

Tropical forests with cloud and fog

Bird sanctuary is good, list of birds and humming birds! Cloud forest is good! Cable car is good. Diana, our tour guide is excellent. Butterflies sanctuary is huge. Waterfalls is good. But the charge is bit more expensive than Cotopaxi! If you have two days, both are good. But if you have one day,
