Enjoy a day surrounded by nature in a magical forest declared a Biosphere Reserve with this Mindo Day Trip. You'll be immersed in the tranquillity of the Ecuadorian jungle while discovering its fauna and flora.
Mindo Day Trip
After picking you up at your hotel in Quito between 5:15 and 6 am, we will head off to Mindo. The journey will take 2 hours, with a halfway stop for breakfast.
Upon arrival, we’ll take a guided tour of the town, exploring houses built with wood and bamboo, cobbled streets, and handicraft shops.
Afterwards, we'll enter the Chocó Andino Reserve jungle. Before the foot route begins, we will cross a mountain using the Tarabita de Mindo, a cable car offering views from above.
Once on the mainland, we’ll hike for 45 minutes through the Sanctuary of the Waterfalls, where we’ll see up to 7 waterfalls while experiencing the reserve's biodiversity.
We will take the Tarabita again and arrive at the village for 3 hours of free time, which you can use to eat and explore more of Mindo's attractions.
At 4:30 pm, we’ll return to your hotel in Quito, arriving around 7 pm.
