Long twisty drive to get there from Quito. We took in the tram/hike for waterfalls. Beautiful but the trail map is serverely flawed. What appears as a long loop is a very long dead end. In the hot sticky jungle, it was a trudge all the way back. Bring swim suits to swim in the waterfall pools.

5/5 - Excellent

Popular places to visit

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

Mindo Valley

Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Mindo Valley during your travels in Mindo. While you're in the area, wander around the forests.

Mindo Valley
The Tandayapa Valley is a birder's paradise. The rugged slopes of this pristine cloud forest offer a spectacle of exotic birds like few places on earth. The mountain roads themselves are great avenues to hunt out mixed flocks, but for a truly amazing experience you need to visit Tony Nunnery's hummingbird garden at Parador Pacha Quindi. Tony grew up in the US but has spent the last fifteen years in a small cottage he and his wife built on 70 hectares in the Tandayapa Valley. They have been reforesting the former pasture and have established a phenomenal hummingbird garden right outside their house. The sight and sound of a hundred hummingbirds whizzing about is something you won't soon forget. It also makes for great photo opportunities, so much so that professionals will even shoot here with their shade umbrellas and strobe arrays. I didn't have anything that fancy, and you'd do quite well here with a 200mm lens and large flash. BTW, I believe that this here is a Speckled Hummingbird.
