Highlights

Discover the lush cloud forests of Mindo, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, on a full-day journey from Quito. Visit a butterfly garden where hundreds of butterflies fly freely around you, enjoy a gentle forest walk ideal for birdwatching—tangers, toucans, hummingbirds, and even the elusive umbrella bird—and savor a homemade organic lunch at a local restaurant. The experience continues at an artisanal chocolate factory, where you’ll learn about Ecuador’s fine-aroma cacao, taste different chocolates, and try a fun pure-cacao facial mask. *A close-up encounter with hummingbirds in a dedicated garden, where these tiny birds hover just inches away and, with a little patience, may even feed directly from your hand—an unforgettable moment that makes this tour truly unique.

About Quito

Quito, Ecuador's high Andean capital, has one of the best-preserved colonial centres in Latin America, ringed by volcanoes and green mountains.

The historic centre was among the very first places named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its churches, plazas and monasteries are spectacular. La Compañía de Jesús glows with gold leaf inside, the Basilica del Voto Nacional has gargoyles shaped like Ecuadorian animals, and Plaza Grande is surrounded by the cathedral and the presidential palace.

Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
