  • An unforgettable experience in Mindo. I recommend

    The tour to the Mindo cloud forest has been very beautiful, fun and well organized: hummingbirds (it is very exciting how much hummingbird takes nectar from your hand), chocolate factory with tasting (the whole process of preparation, see plants), canopy (fun and spectacular views), waterfall (very cute), food (respect the food restrictions, very large portions). Our guide Stui has been very friendly, he knows a lot, it was interesting to hear, he has explained everything perfectly in English and Spanish. I recommend.

    What an impressive trip it was! My favorite part was about hummingbirds, and we held some liquid in our hands that attracted little birds to drink. We can see these birds up close and they are simply stunningly beautiful! In addition, the chocolate-making segment was also great.

    This is the best tour I have ever done. Joselo was incredible. He was kind, organized, and guided us through a lot of activities. The hummingbirds are something you can't describe and the chocolate is delicious. The cloud forest is stunning. I loved the zip line. Everything they did was unique and amazing. Joselo also provided a lot of great information. Not only did I have a great time, I learned a lot. I did two tours with this company and they are one of the best companies I have ever used

  • Experience an Authentic Mindo Adventure

    The trip was awesome! During the bird watching portion, we had hummingbirds eating from our hands! The chocolate factory was very informative and we all got the chocolate face mask treatment. I’m 70 years old but I got to experience a zip line for the first time and everyone else got to visit the waterfalls, although I wasn’t really up to the hike. It was an amazing day full of memories that we made. Jose was an excellent guide and made everything fall in place. The best part for me was meeting great people. We started the trip as strangers and ended it as friends. You will most certainly enjoy this adventure.

    We had an unforgettable experience with Ecosporttour, thanks to our incredible guide Joel and our skilled driver Alex. Our group of 8, including kids, was picked up promptly and driven out to the beautiful Mindo rainforest for a full day of adventure. We started with birdwatching, where we got the chance to feed hummingbirds (colibríes)—a magical moment that we’ll never forget. After that, we stopped for a thrilling zipline experience before heading out on a hike through the lush rainforest. Joel was absolutely fantastic throughout—extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. He shared so much insight about the local birds, plants, wildlife, and Ecuadorian culture, making the whole experience even richer. One of the highlights was Joel surprising us with a stop along the way to let us try local fruits and delicious cassava balls—a thoughtful and authentic touch. After our hike, we had lunch at a fantastic local restaurant in Mindo, where the food was delicious and the setting beautiful. Joel was great with our kids too—patient, fun, and full of stories that kept them engaged and curious. And a big thank you to Alex, who made sure our drive was smooth, safe, and comfortable throughout. We can’t recommend Ecosporttour, Joel, and Alex enough. Thank you for an amazing day—we’ll be talking about it for a long time!
