Thursdays Only
The cloud forest is an ecosystem characterized by the presence of fog or “clouds” at the height of the tops of trees that generate abundant moisture and development of mosses and epiphytes, which allows a wide variety of animals and plants with a high level of endemism. In Ecuador, the conservation of these forests has attracted considerable interest from NGOs and governments, so activities such as ecotourism and bird watching in Mindo, in particular, is a great opportunity for local communities to preserve this richness. Mindo is located two hours from Quito, and is well known and visited by local and foreign tourists, as they can perform different activities: ecotourism, adventure sports, hiking, etc.
Once in Mindo, you will find that there are many different options for nature and adventure tours… your guide will show them to you and you decide what to do.
