Amazing Cloud Forest Experience - The entire tour was wonderful. Nice clean vehicle for transport. The bird watching was excellent and we ticked a few rare birds off our list as well. Our guide Kathy was so friendly and knowledgeable. The waterfall hike was not for the faint of heart but being so close to the waterfall was breathtaking. Lunch was at a beautiful restaurant that we had all to our selves aside from the toucans!

Wonderful fun packed day excursion - This was a wonderful fun packed day. Pato was our guide and he was excellent! He started off texting the night before with a recommended list of things to bring (which was very helpful) and confirmed the pickup time for the next morning. The vehicle for the day tour was very comfortable. The Pululahua Volcano has excellent views. We saw an Olinguito stealing bananas at the bird sanctuary. It was fun to feed the hummingbirds and some even landed on your hand. There were some types of hummingbirds we'd never seen before. The bird sanctuary also had excellent views. At the butterfly farm they showed you how to get a butterfly to stay on your finger which was interesting and they were flying all around you. There were also many beautiful tropical flowers. The teleferico had wonderful views of the cloud forest. There was a nice hike to a waterfall. Pato was very accomodating when we asked for changes in the itinerary. We asked to have Paila for lunch instead of a regular lunch and to see the Inca ruins near the equator line and Pato kindly accomodated both requests. We very much enjoyed this lunch :-) The Yumbos chocolate factory tour is probably the best one I've been on so far. Very comprehensive. We've been to a couple others before. It concluded with a chocolate tasting with fruit as palate cleansers, bitter hot chocolate (with syrup sweetners), cacoa tea, and a chocolate face mask. The cacao pulp syrup is a very unique product, yummy. The Inca ruins were very interesting especially shrouded in mist. So much history. Thanks to Pato we were able to see it! Thank you, Pato, for a wonderful day!!

Loved our day in Mindo Cloud Forest - Kathy picked us up early in the morning for the drive to Mindo. On the way, we stopped to visit hummingbirds, which were everywhere. We were even able to feed the adventurous ones by hand. Then we were off to a bird sanctuary, where we saw some of the most amazing and colorful birds we have ever seen. Our favorites were the multiple species of large toucans. Then, we were off to do some hiking to a gushing waterfall in the Mindo Cloud Forest, noting many other types of plants and wildlife along the way. Kathy was extremely knowledgeable of all of the plants and had interesting stories of how they were used by indigenous people over the centuries. After the waterfall and some additional hiking, we took the cable car through the cloud forest and back to the trailhead. We had lunch at a great little restaurant in Mindo at the Sisikuna Lodge, followed by an amazing tour at Yumbos Chocolate, where we got to see the entire process for the preparation of delicious artisan chocolate. Tracey and Kathy enjoyed a rejuvenating chocolate facial treatment during the tasting. As we returned to the hotel and later reviewed our pictures, we were amazed at how much of Mindo and the cloud forest we were able to enjoy and learn about during this single day there. Huge thanks to Kathy for organizing a perfect day for us in the cloud forest.

Great trip to Mindo. - Kathy was a fantastic guide. The hummingbird sanctuary, bird watching, and hiking were spectacular. Lunch and chocolate tasting was also wonderful.

Mindo hike - Wonderful tour of beautiful landscape. Many new (to me) plants and birds on the hike to the waterfall. Cable car over the gorge was quite the vista.

Wonderful MINDO - It was a wonderful and interesting experience with Padro (my tour guide), he is nice and friendly, can accommodate all your requests and adjust the itinerary depending on what the client needs, great tour, impression Deepest, he and I did the Cocoa Tour together and we made up for it with Cocoa Face and those were great memories. Thank you for bringing me the good stuff! Recommend this!
