5.00The 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.
A fantastic natural tour

5.00What 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.
WONDERFUL

5.00This 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
Must do experience from Quito
