Mindo, just an hour and a half from Quito, could be your sweet escape from the buzz of the capital in the heart of the cloud forest. This is a heaven for bird lovers and it will offer much more activities at your choice such as hiking, waterfalls, ziplining, tubing, chocolate tasting, and the visit of a butterfly house.
Mindo is growing in popularity among travellers and it is justified. It will offer you amazing landscapes, bird-watching opportunities and a taste of adventure with a multitude of fun activities to choose from making it a really exciting day at the doorstep of Quito.
After being picked up at Masaya at 6:45 am, you will start by making a stop in front of the Middle of the World monument giving you an opportunity to take memorable photos. You will then arrive in Mindo at around 9:30 am.
In the morning you will be able to choose between trekking in the jungle and waterfalls or going for a ziplining experience. After a lunch break, the afternoon will be dedicated to either chocolate and cacao tasting or the visit of a beautiful butterfly house. You will then head back to Quito and should arrive around 6pm.
