One of my and travelers' favorites! Quito has dozens of interesting and beautiful sites, but it is still a big city like all big cities, full of concrete, cars, noise and people in a hurry. After seeing Old Quito and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, if you have another day, why not go down, down, down and out to rural, cloud forest, gorgeous Mindo and see nature at its best? You'll never see more lush forest, more exotic birds, hundreds of hummingbirds and butterflies than in Mindo. We can stop en route for a mountainside, local, organic coffee or breakfast with dozens of hummingbirds swirling close around us. Use my Nikon binoculars to see these things, both close and distant, up even closer. If enough time we can walk to a beautiful waterfall or take a zip line ride or a steel basket ride over the jungle or stop at the Middle of the World or visit Pululau volcano rim, one of only two active volcanos in the world with people living and farming in the crater.
Depart hotel 7am if comfortable that early Travel out and down from Quito in northwest direction toward Mindo (2 hour trip) Stop, if open, for a coffee, snack or breakfast at an amazing, mountainside, hummingbird site where they will buzz around you and even, sometimes, land on you, literally dozens and dozens of active hummingbirds. You will remember this stop for the rest of your life when you sit at your breakfast table at home. Take a zip line ride over the cloud forest? Less adventurous? Take a steel basket ride over the cloud forest. Arrive in Mindo and walk the tiny town, visit a truly amazing butterfly exhibition, a little chocolate factory that takes you from pod to finished products, an orchid exhibition, a jungle waterfall and a cloud forest hike if you desire. We can't do all of these things, but we'll come close and do what you want. Lunch Return to Quito with stop at Pululau Volcano and/or Middle of the World site IF TIME ALLOWS and client desires. Arrive at Quito hotel approximately 6pm
