Mindo Cloud Forest Private Tour

Mindo is a rural parish located just 2 hours from Quito (80 km – 48 miles), in Los Bancos canton in the province of Pichincha. Mindo is known for its famous growth in ecotourism based in the Mindo – Nambillo Protected Forest. The beautiful landscapes and the exuberant flora and fauna of this cloud forest attract all types of travelers and adventurers. Mindo is located between a high altitude zone and the rainforest which gives the place excellent biodiversity characteristics. You can find more than 500 species of birds, orchids, bromeliads, and more than 40 species of butterflies. The temperature fluctuates around 15ºC – 24ºC (60ºF – 75ºF).

We will start early in Quito taking the Middle of the World – Calacalí – Los Bancos – Esmeraldas highway. When we will get to Mindo, we will first visit the butterfly farm. This farm has some of the most beautiful butterflies that can be seen in Ecuador. There, you can also see orchids, birds, but most importantly the hummingbird. Afterwards, we will go on an ecological walk where we will observe wonderful waterfalls and be able to take a dip in the pools or rivers. Then we will be off to a spectacular set of zip lines! This is not for the faint-hearted. Finally, after lunch, you will get the chance to visit the famous Mindo chocolate factory. This tour offers you an insight into the products and produce. It is also a nice way to try some delicious chocolate.

Very good organization; always fast communication/response by Pablo/EcuaTraveling. The program took us to places and people we would not have selected/visited and that made it unique. The acclimatization tour @ Iliniza Norte was a great choice!

We had a great experience with our tour guide Stui! He told us so much about the volcanos, the history and people of the region! We enjoyed the tour because we got to taste Bizcochos at the place where they are made, we went to Lago de San Pablo, the Otavalo market, Cotacachi and hiked a bit in Cuicocha to see the beautiful lake! This experience was amazing,many thanks to our guide Stui, you are going a great job!!!
