Mindo full day tour

5.00Gustavo provided us with the most memorable day ever, finishing our South America trip on a total high. He shared his wealth of knowledge about the flora and fauna along with the history and culture of the area,people and country. The hummingbirds were so mesmerising. We were taken to some amazing sites and the lunch spot was a traditional Ecudorian lunch which was delicious. Gustavo adjusted the day based on our interests and due to weather but covered the cloud forest, butterflies, chocolate tour and when we were unsuccessful at sighting toucans he took us to another bird park to enable us to see them. I can not recommend this tour and experience enough and always felt safe as he transported us around.
Colorful, delicious and fascinating day trip

5.00Gustavo was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. He spent almost 12 hours with me! We drove through different ecosystems, visited many species of hummingbirds, tanagers and even saw a Toucan. Had a lovely hike to a waterfall and talked about many of the plant species. Gustavo guided me to great restaurants for lunch and dinner. And we had a full chocolate tasting tour. I never knew how coco beans grew! A very worthwhile tour with a wonderful guide!
excellent ride

5.00First, or guide Galindo was simply the best. Great English and very knowledgeable and justifiably proud of his country. We learned about much more than the ecology, to include economics and history. We saw so much. The hummingbirds and butterflies were something else. Also really enjoyed seeing some of the different climate zones we went through. Loved the hike and tram ride in the cloud forest. All around great day. (And make sure you stop at the Yumbo chocolate factory in Mindo. Great tour and lots of delicious samples!)

5.00We had a fun time on our trip to Mindo with Ismael. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and customized the itinerary for us so we could spend most of our time looking for birds. We were able to see a toucan and spent a lot of time hand feeding hummingbirds.
Highlight of our trip!

5.00We had an amazing day with Pato! We booked last minute as a family of 6. Pato adjusted our day based on everyone's needs and interests. We learned so much as Pato was able to answer every question. The lunch spot was beautiful, not crowded and the food was excellent. Every stop was amazing, I can't recommend this experience enough. It's been the highlight of our trip so far!

5.00We had an absolutely incredible experience on this tour with Pato! From the moment he picked us up at our hotel throughout the day, we was through, knowledagble, and invested in our comfort. Birdwatching is one of my favorite things, and waterfall hikes are one of my spouse’s—and this tour combined them both! It was a wonderful addition to our honeymoon, and the chocolate finale didn’t hurt either!! Thank you, Pato!!! Book this tour if you’re thinking about it!
