Contact with hummingbirds - I got to know the wonder of the hummingbirds and apart from the forest, not only that but the mountains, the waterfalls, the wonderful rivers, the very professional guide showed us a book with the different species of birds and we had the presence of a photographer who captured the most wonderful moments and action for those who went up to slide through the air. It's fantastic to have a photographer in the group. Good tip

Great Mindo Tour with Ecosportour - Had a great time touring Mindo with Ecosportour. David was our guide and explained a lot of things on our way to Mindo. The tour was very well organized with a good pace. Our group of 7 toured the hummingbird reserve, walked down to the waterfall, and ziplined. Afterwards we had a very filling lunch which was included in the tour price. Then we toured the Yumbo chocolate factory and had a very informative chocolate tasting tour. All in all I highly recommend doing this Mindo tour with Ecosportour!

Mindo tour with young kids - I took the Mindo tour with my two children, ages 2 and 6. The tour was unfortunately much longer than expected due to traffic and we arrived at the restaurant for “lunch” at 4:15pm. I am grateful that i brought lots of snacks and sandwiches for my kids and I! Our tour guide David was wonderful, as was Amir, the tour guide at Yumbos chocolate factory. They were so accommodating for my curious and adventurous kids! Overall it was a wonderful experience; I just wish we would have eaten earlier in the day.
