A wonderful adventure. Swimming in the Nambilla waterfalls as delightful and refreshing. The zip line/cable basket over the valley was spectacular and felt completely safe. Really enjoyed seeing hummingbirds and all of the other colorful bird varieties. Lunch was delicious and felt extremely local/authentic!

Mindo Cloud Forest exceeded all expectations

Robin_M, Nov 2023

Andres picked us up from our hotel for a full day excursion To the Mindo Cloud Forest. The Alambi Hummingbird sanctuary was amazing. We must have seen thousands of hummingbirds all in action collecting nectar, it was a photographers delight. Next was the butterfly farm which was another sensory delight, so many types, sizes and colours. The cable car ride and walk to the waterfall certainly got our appetite up. We had a delicious lunch in the town of Mindo, included in the tour. Finally, a tour of the Yumbo Chocolate factory in Mindo to overwhelm our tastebuds. None of this would have been possible without our driver and guide, Andres, who had great knowledge of the area and spoke perfect English. Thank you Andrew for a memorable day.

It was a very good tour,...

This was my favorite tour of the week. It was jam-packed with wonderful and exciting experiences led by an excellent tour guide. We went to the hummingbird sanctuary, which was a fun unique experience, I zip-lined, sky-biked, hiked the waterfalls, had a delicious lunch in Mindo, and took the chocolate tour. I highly recommend!!!

Wonderful trip to the rainforest

Wonderful time at Mindo

Swimming in the river at the bottom of the falls was fantastic. The zip line-basket taxi over the valley was spectacular. Great time chatting with my guide. Gorgeous birds everywhere
