We took a day tour to experience the many things Mindo has to offer, and chose the waterfalls, hummingbirds and butterfly experience Our guide Christian was incredible. He had an extensive knowledge of Quito, Ecuador, vegetation and birds and his English was excellent He was very accommodating and allowed us to plan our itinerary The walk to and from Nambillo waterfall was enjoyable and doable We then went to see the butterflies where we learned many facts we’d previously not known and we even got to feed one !! The highlight of our trip was the hummingbirds where again we were able to feed them. These tiny little birds actually landed on our hands, which was beyond amazing, and the speed of their wings felt like a fan ! The journey to and from Mindo was quite long, 2 plus hours but it was a great opportunity to see outside of Quito and Christian taught us so much along the way
A great day out!

We had a great day and would recommend this tour. Christian was extremely knowledgeable about Ecuador and planned a great day for us. We went zip lining which was amazing, to the chocolate factory (also great) and the hummingbird sanctuary which we loved.
Butterflys,Hummingbirds, Toucans, waterfalls, coffee making.

Again with Daniel. This day was fully packed with great visits. We did the short waterfall stop and that was quite enough. Photos from every stop were super.
One should consider there...

One should consider there is a lot of driving - 2.5h one direction. Walk in cloud forest is very short, all entrance fees are additional, the bird watching facility for 5 $ is problematic considering animal wellfere as they are feeding the birds and changing their natural behaviour. Zip line was good. In general, our driver was nice, but wouldn't recommend this tour.

Christian is a great guide, I think he kept mentioning interesting things the whole drive back and forth to Mindo. Amazing knowledge about birds and plants. Whole trip was flexible and we got to make our own coffee and chocolate. Bird sanctuary was very nice, got to see some Toucans (apparently rare sighting) and feed hummingbirds.
