Horrible don’t do it .

The guide didn’t speak English and made us pay for lunch which was supposed to be included. Overall do not recommend

Mindo Cloud Forrest offered a colorful hike

Steffen G, Sep 2019
The tour guide picked us up at the hotel at 8 am and took us in his Subaru to the Mindo Cloud Forrest. He explained the history of the areas we passed and we stopped on the way to see local sights of interest, because as we were a small group, everyone agreed to see as much as possible. In Mindo, we decided to hike. In order to get to the various hiking paths, our guide drove us to the cable car that crosses a canyon. The adventure could begin. Once on the other side of the canyon, we hiked to the waterfall first, then to the river and swimming area. The colors of the sky and plants were spectacular. A late lunch at a hotel in town was another highlight. Great service and delicious food selections. Next door, we stopped for coffee in a small coffee shop before returning to Quito. We also passed the equator on the way back, and made a quick stop for selfies. What a wonderful day!

Overpriced Busride

Tobias_K, Sep 2019
For more than 70 USD you get nothing more than the bus trip to Mindo and a lunch. There is no entrance fee to any attraction included, which is not directly visible from the description. Not recommendable!

LOVED the hummingbird feeders! Amazing...
