Mindo Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Did the full zip line tour here and it was the best zip lines I’d ever done. There are places where you can’t even see the other end of the line that you’re on as you glide at high speeds, hundreds of feet above the jungle.#Adventure

The Mindo Cloud forest is a short drive from bustling Quito, but it feels like an entirely different world. One of the most popular things to do in Mindo is to hike. The hike to the Cascadas took us around 21/2 hours and was well worth it for the incredible views. Along the hike, we saw countless butterflies, hummingbirds, orchids, and incredible waterfalls. #LifeAtExpediaGroup
I love the mountains, but exploring the rainforests in Ecuador was just as beautiful. This was one of many waterfalls we discover on our hike, and just look at all that green!!
This great little lodge in the heart of the Ecuadorian cloud forest has it's own hummingbird garden for you to enjoy without any treking involved. I am guessing that this is a juvenile male Purple-throated Woodstar who is still trying to fill out his purple beard.

Nice building clean apt. It would have been nice if there were shades on the kitchen windows or a curtain between the bedroom and kitchen. The bed frame is too large for the space and makes it difficult to move around in the bedroom.

San Miguel de los Bancos

This is the cloud forest and village of Nono, Ecuador where: I rode a horse in the clouds, got impaled on a tree branch, and was blessed by a lovely 100-year-old woman. An amazing little place near Quito for hiking, cycling, bird watching, horseback riding, and generally having your head in the clouds.
