Mindo area, northwest of Quito, holds some of the last remnants of the Chocó cloud forest, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems of the world; recently declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Mindo is a small peaceful town inserted in a cloud forest valley surrounded by steep slopes; considered a Mecca for photographers, birdwatchers and nature lovers of all ages who visit the country. After, over a twenty year never-ending green transformation (thanks to Ecotourism), this biodiversity "Hot Spot" currently supports more than 600 species of beautiful orchids, over 500 birds and a human population, mainly involved in ecotourism and conservation. Not only the most important birdwatching spot in the country, but the perfect place for activities to reconnect with mother Nature. You might be a photographer, a birdwatcher, an adrenaline seeker or someone in search of natural beauty away from the city lights while enjoying amazing nature and delicious food, it doesn't matter. . . Mindo cloud forest has it all.
Day 1. We drive northwest to Pululahua crater, for a quick stop to enjoy the view of this potentially active inhabited volcano; then we continue descending the western slopes of the Andes into the cloud forest while enjoying of lush and green landscapes. We'll visit a private "Hummingbird Garden" where to witness a wide variety of birds and taking a few hundreds of fabulous pictures and videos, then we'll continue driving to Mindo for lunch while deciding on the possible activities, like: orchid garden, butterfly house or chocolate tour. Dinner and get to the hotel. Day 2. After a restful night and breakfast we are ready for some adventure: a walk to the waterfalls, canyoning, zip-lining, birdwatching. . . you decide. Afterwards, we collect the luggage, find some tasty lunch, in town or on the road up towards the "Middle of the World Valley" where to visit the Equator Line at "Inti-Ñan Museum"; finally, drive to your hotel to finish the tour.
