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.

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

Next, we'll venture into the Chocó Andino Reserve jungle. To start our route, we'll cross a mountain using the Tarabita de Mindo, a cable car offering scenic views.

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

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