Mindo Cloud Forest Tours

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.

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
