Itinerary
-
Explore the Mindo Valley
- Meet the tour guide at Foch or Leon Mera at 7:00 a.m. and leave Quito for our Mindo Valley Tour. Mindo is a mountainous watershed situated on the western slopes of the Andes, where two of the most biologically diverse ecoregions in the world meet: the Chocoan lowlands and the Tropical Andes. In this transitional area — which covers an area of 268 square kilometres (103 sq mi) and ranges from 960–3,440 metres (3,150–11,290 ft) above sea level — three rivers (Mindo, Saloya and Cinto) and hundreds of streams irrigate the landscape, which consists of a patchwork of the cloud forest.
- Visit the Mindo Butterfly Garden, where you wil see around 1,000 butterfly species. Walk ahead to feel the breathtaking beauty of the Tarabita or Canopy Waterfall. Stop for lunch.
- Visit the chocolate factory in Mindo. Mindo is famous for its tasty chocolates.
- Return to Quito.
