This was the first of three amazing tours with Andres! . We spent the day exploring the Mindo cloud forest customized to our interests. The day started with a coffee experience where we got to learn the process of growing and roasting coffee, we got to prepare, roast, and grind our own coffee beans for an excellent cup or coffee. Next we took an open air cable car to see breath taking views of the lush landscape. We then had lunch at a local diner followed by a chocolate tour and tasting. We ended the day with admiring butterflies and humming birds, before making drive back to Quito. Andres was an excellent guide, who did an excellent job customizing our private tour. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to talk to. He helped us to have another excellent day in Ecuador seeing more of the natural beauty the country has to offer.
