Mindo is located on the west side of Quito in a deep valley surrounded by native Andean forest, represented by vegetation of three different life zones, from the low subtropical forest to the cloud mountain forest and the high paramo.
A drive from Quito takes approximately 2 hours. Due to the difficult access, the ridges around the valley of Mindo have not been used for agricultural purposes and the forest remains almost untouched. We arrive at a local hosteria, where you will have the opportunity to enjoy an ecosystem that contains one of the largest varieties of birds and plant life in the world
