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, featuring wooden and bamboo houses, cobbled streets, and handicraft shops.

Next, we'll delve into the Chocó Andino Reserve jungle. Before walking, we will cross a mountain using the Tarabita de Mindo, a cable car offering an impressive view.

Once on the mainland, we’ll hike for 45 minutes through the Sanctuary of the Waterfalls, where we’ll see up to 7 waterfalls, allowing us to connect with the reserve’s biodiversity.

After the hike, we'll take the Tarabita again and return to the village, where you will have 3 hours of free time to eat and explore Mindo further.

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