Our first post is about a very special place called Mindo in Ecuador where I decided to come to live!
Mindo Ecuador is a small community involving 3.000 people located 1 hour and 30 minutes from Quito. It has changed into a very important hot spot throughout current years as a birds paradise. It’s really a quite interesting village that has a lot to offer. Each day throughout Mindo will never be boring and without surprises. It’s really a town that is certainly famous for its plentiful splendor and also the Mindo-Nambillo Cloud Forest. Areas encompassing Mindo will be probably the greatest places for bird watching in Ecuador and all the world. Mindo is in the top rated Birds Christmas counts in the world.
A number of tourists that come from Quito just stay few hours in daytime and they do only few activities. Simply because these people don´t get good information throughout Quito and also most likely get “full day tours” information. Mindo Ecuador is a place to stay 2, 3 or maybe more nights doing activities. You will enjoy the gorgeous woodlands and also enjoyable along with the warm weather conditions all the year. Another great detail for Mindo is that rains few hours normally in the afternoon. That means that you have plenty of time frame to do outdoor activities during the day.
There are tons of activities involving nature to do in Mindo Ecuador. Essentially the most well-known activitie to do in Mindo is tubing in the Rio Mindo. Throughout the dry up time of year, this is more a relaxing movement on the water. In the rain season, it is truly a more heart-pumping action, since the river is even bigger and also faster.
Furthermore in Mindo, it is possible to Zipline in the Mind Cloud Forest. To cross the forest in 10 cables through the trees while trying tricks like “Superman” and “Mariposa”(Butterfly). Maybe you will have also funny surprises.
You may also go to the Mariposario (butterfly garden), which residences 25 different types of butterflies. There also displays the 4 different stages involving butterfly lifetime, making it the biggest exhibit throughout Ecuador.
Hiking is a very famous experience activity in Mindo. You can examine the astounding nature. There are many marked and unmarked walking and bike trails. They will bring you to places such as the waterfalls sanctuary or the famous cable car (tarabita). This is also the “fast entrance” to the waterfalls sanctuary if you don´t want to start walking. In the cable car you can go on a breathtaking ride on the mountains.
