Great day trip from Quito. Feeding the hummingbirds was a great experience, and I loved the chocolate tour and tasting. We visited the butterfly farm and hiked to some waterfalls too, which were both very nice. Your guide will customize it for the activities the group agrees to. The drive there and back is beautiful, the driver was super safe, and our guide Andres shared lots of interesting information with us along the way. Highly recommend this tour!

It was a nice, easy day, the pace was great. I had no expectations of what I was going to experience and they made the day a lot of fun. They took us to a great local spot for lunch, Javier and Christian are excellent. Great small group activity.

Full description

Take advantage of an exciting full day trip to Mindo, a paradise of biodiversity located just two hours from Quito. This charming town is famous for its lush vegetation, impressive waterfalls and a variety of activities that will connect you with nature in a unique way.

Your day begins when a tour guide will pick you up at your hotel in Quito. As you make your way to Mindo, you will enjoy a picturesque Andean landscape that will take you through valleys and mountains, where the vegetation transforms and invites you to discover a new world.

Arriving in Mindo, you will be immersed in a spectacular natural environment. The first stop is one of the most emblematic waterfalls in the area, where you can walk along paths surrounded by orchids and exotic birds. The sound of falling water and the fresh mountain air will envelop you, giving you a moment of peace and connection with nature.

If you are looking for more adrenaline, you can opt for an exciting canopy tour. Glide through the treetops on zip lines that offer panoramic views of the cloud forest. This experience will allow you to feel the freedom of flying and observe the rich fauna and flora from a different perspective. Remember that this activity is optional and you can enjoy the beauty of Mindo at your own pace.

After exploring the waterfalls, Mindo awaits you with more surprises. You can participate in a bird watching activity, as this region is famous for its avian diversity. With a little luck, you may spot hummingbirds and other unique species. If you prefer a quieter activity, consider a hike through the forest trails, where you can discover the local flora and enjoy the serenity of the surroundings.

As the day comes to an end, you will enjoy a beautiful sunset as you return to Quito after this experience that will leave you in awe. After a day full of adventure and exploration, you will return with your heart and mind full of unforgettable memories.

This full day tour to Mindo is more than just a tour; it is an opportunity to disconnect from routine, immerse yourself in nature and rediscover the beauty of Ecuador. Get ready for a transforming experience that will connect your adventurous spirit with the incredible biodiversity of this corner of the world. Don't miss the opportunity to experience Mindo in an authentic and exciting way!

Feeding the hummingbirds was amazing and the butterfly sanctuary was fantastic. The nature park and hikes to see the waterfall was worth the effort and the basket ride over the tree tops was also pretty spectacular. The chocolate tour and tasting at the end was the perfect way to end the day.
