Mindo Day Trip

After picking you up at your hotel in Quito between 5:15 and 6 am, we'll head off to Mindo. The journey will take 2 hours, with a stop halfway for breakfast and to stretch your legs.

Upon arrival, we'll take a guided tour of the town. You will see wooden and bamboo houses, cobbled streets, and handicraft shops.

Afterwards, we'll go deeper into the Chocó Andino Reserve jungle. Before starting the route on foot, we'll cross a mountain using the Tarabita de Mindo, a cable car offering incredible views.

Once on the mainland, we'll hike for 45 minutes through the Sanctuary of the Waterfalls, where we'll see up to 7 waterfalls and explore the biodiversity of the reserve.

We'll take the Tarabita again and reach the village where you will have 3 hours of free time to eat and explore Mindo.

At 4:30 pm, we will return to your hotel in Quito, arriving around 7 pm.
