• 5Mindo was great

  Daniel was a great tour guide and stayed calm while rescuing two people who got lost while taking the wrong trekking path haha! 10/10, would go on another tour with him. Mindo is fantastic!

• 5Hummingbird heaven

  Mindo was awesome!. We were lucky to have Daniel once again as our guide; we had him a few days before for another tour. The hummingbirds were the highlight of the trip, but the day overall was a really enjoyable one. The hike to the waterfall and back was a bit tiring, but worth the effort. Our driver Jonathan was good as well as he navigated the windy road to Mindo. Very nice getaway for the day.

  Beautiful and serene experience. The hummingbirds and butterflies are so soothing. The hike and swim in the waterfall will revitalize you. Pamela is the best guide!🥰

• 510 out of 10 would do again

  Had the best day feeding hummingbirds and butterflies, riding a cable cart through the canopy, hiking and swimming at waterfall and learning all about how chocolate is made. Josua was an excellent guide and switched seamlessly between Spanish and English even though we were the only 2 non Spanish speakers on the tour. Highly highly recommend this tour. Great value for money

  Beautiful landscapes! Amazing experience getting to feed the hummingbirds. Jessica was a great guide and kept us on track. Pro tip: WEAR INSECT REPELLENT. We were attacked by these small biting flies called Midges.

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.
