Fantastic day trip to Mindo, there are more things than you can do there in 1 day, so returning is definitely a must. My private tour started with Eduardo scoping me up at my downtown Quito hotel promptly at the agreed 7:30am time. It a beautiful mountainous drive to Mindo where he shares mush of Ecuador’s history and culture. One of the benefits overall of this tour was Eduardo’s birding, flora n fauna, and local knowledge of the forest and its inhabitants. Once in Mindo you can choose from hummingbird and butterfly farms, hiking, chasing waterfalls, tubing, zip lining, cacao making tour and much more. I opted for hummingbirds, hiking, waterfalls, break for lunch and the cacao tour which made for a perfect day. Cannot say enough good things about this tour, my overall stay in Ecuador and experiencing its generous people and welcoming culture. I will be back!
