1 day
About this activity
Mindo is a rural parish located 2 hours from Quito (80 km 48 miles) in Los Bancos canton, in the province of Pichincha. Mindo is known for its ecotourism activities based in the Mindo Nambillo Protected Forest. The beautiful landscapes and exuberant flora and fauna of this cloud forest attract all types of travelers and adventurers. The excellent biodiversity found in Mindo is due to its location between a high altitude zone and the rain forest. You can find more than 500 spp. of birds, orchids, bromeliads and more than 40 spp. of butterflies. The temperature ranges between 15C 24C (60F 75F). We start early in Quito taking the Middle of the World Calacali Los Bancos Esmeraldas highway. When we get to Mindo, you can choose between visiting a butterfly farm, chocolate factory or go on an ecological trekking to the rivers and waterfalls or do canopy.
