The majority of its population, made up of around 3,000 inhabitants, is dedicated to protecting the area through ecotourism activities and services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mindo an ideal destination for those of you that don\u2019t want to travel too far to experience rich biodiversity, good weather, and sustainable travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21035\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dsc01228-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Mindo, a place you will fall in love with \" width=\"2400\" height=\"1800\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A\u00a0place you will fall in love with<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are people that visited Mindo while vacationing through Ecuador and &#8211; fast forward two years &#8211; now live there. You might be next! Here are a number of reasons why you too might fall in love with this village:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Perfect weather<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is completely subjective, but if you\u2019re looking for a fresh, tropical environment, Mindo has it.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The average temperature here is 19 degrees Celsius (66 F) and, because this village is located at 1,248m above sea level (4,084 feet), it\u2019s surrounded by dense<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/cloud-forest-ecuador\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cloud forest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and is often engulfed in fog. Expect to experience rain here; the average annual rainfall here is 2,525 mm (99 inches).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rich biodiversity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re a nature lover, and especially a birdwatcher, you\u2019re gonna go wild here. There\u2019s so much to see!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mindo is home to more than 4<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">50 species of birds, including the unusual cock-of-the-rock. Hummingbirds can be observed on nearly every open patio area that has flowering plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In terms of mammals, if you\u2019re lucky, you might be able to spot armadillos, anteaters, two-toed sloths, various species of monkeys and even a large feline, like a puma or ocelot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While in Mindo, you can\u2019t miss a visit to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariposasdemindo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Butterfly Farm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, where you can observe (and interact with) over 1,000 butterfly species. And, if you\u2019re a fan of orchids, you\u2019ll find over 400 species spread out across Mindo, both in the cloud forest and in the gardens of local businesses and homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21033 size-full\" title=\"Mindo, a place you will fall in love with \" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2q3b7904-1.jpg\" alt=\"Mindo, a place you will fall in love with \" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Top activities in Mindo<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mindo is a wonderful destination to simply disconnect, read a book, relax and soak in the clean forest air. However, if you prefer to remain active, here are some of the top activities to enjoy there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Coffee tour<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like coffee? This region of Ecuador is one of many coffee-producing regions and, to learn more about the coffee-making process, you can sign up for the Coffee Tour at el Quetzal. The tour begins with visitors harvesting coffee cherries from the trees and ends with a roasted cup of coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Chocolate making tour<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few businesses offer chocolate making tours, which go through all the steps in the chocolate-making process. You\u2019ll observe how the cacao beans are harvested, fermented, dried, roasted, hand shelled and hand ground, and much more. These tours last about an hour, costs $10 and, of course, includes some chocolate tasting along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Birdwatching<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don\u2019t need to be an expert birdwatcher to enjoy this activity. Simply get your hands on a bird guidebook and a pair of binoculars, or even just a hummingbird guidebook, and sit out on a quiet outdoor terrace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you prefer taking the more active route, go on a hike around the village and you\u2019ll be sure to spot various types of hummingbirds, mot-mots, bird-eaters, and raptor species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a few birdwatching tours in Mindo, like the Bird of Paradise Tours, where a local guide points out some of the more rare species, like the Andean Cock of the Rock. Reserva Ecologica Pachijal Eco &amp; Bird Lodge also offers tours, and you can always opt to hire a recommended local guide from the village itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Chasing waterfalls<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though not generally recommended by hip hop artists, this is an activity worth doing in Mindo. Head up the main hill, involving a 7km hike uphill, and pay a few dollars ($5 per person) to cross the gorge on the aerial tram (tarabita). Once on the other side, head left and you\u2019ll begin along a waterfall route where you can stop through seven waterfalls. To complete the entire hike, and depending on your physical state, this hike might take about 5 hours to complete, so make sure you bring water, snacks and a change of clothes (you\u2019ll likely get wet).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Hiking<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apart from the waterfall hike, there\u2019s also a great hike starting at Casa Amarilla (Yellow House). There\u2019s a small entrance fee, but these are some of the prettiest paths that are easily accessible from Mindo. This series of hiking paths wind their way through her property and can take from 1-8 hours to complete, depending on which you choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Inner Tubing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is one of the activities preferred by local tourists. You\u2019ll notice in and around town that you can rent inner tubes at a few locations. Grab yours and head up river for a short (20 minute float down Mindo\u2019s main river) or long (2 hours along the R\u00edo Blanco). You can hire a guide too, if that makes you more comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Orchid hunting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you prefer flowers and plants to birds, this is another rewarding activity you can do in Mindo. Hike along one of the above-described trails and keep your eyes open for various species of orchids that grow in abundance in this area. Make sure you don\u2019t touch, move or extract any of these plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is also an orchid farm in Mindo, and most hotels\/gardens will have an orchid section that the owners have collected over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindolindo.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mindo Lindo,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located at the top of the hill, just pass the main entrance into Mindo, is a beautiful reserve that has been left to flourish. There are hiking trails, wild animals and many orchids, as well as other plant, to appreciate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21031\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/788a8312-1.jpg\" alt=\"Mindo, the perfect village for a getaway\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What to do next?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you\u2019re in Mindo, you can choose from a number of options to continue along your journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Head back to Quito<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you haven\u2019t fully explored Quito yet, you might consider heading back to the city and going on a tour through the Old Town. You can also climb up Rucu Pichincha one morning and visit museums the rest of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pululahua<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One the way back to Quito, you\u2019ll pass an entrance to Pulalahua, a town nestled within the crater walls of what was once an active volcano. You\u2019ll find a hostel here, camping options and activities like horseback riding and hiking. This is a lovely, picturesque area that\u2019s worth a day or overnight trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mitad del Mundo<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is another stop you can make while heading back to Quito. You\u2019ll find a large marble monument that was erected to symbolize the location of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/the-middle-of-the-world\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earth&#8217;s equator.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Unfortunately, years after this monument was placed, a re-calculation determined that the equator was actually located a bit farther north. Woops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Happy wandering and we hope you enjoy your time traveling through Mindo!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only a two-hour drive from Quito lies the town of Mindo, nestled along the Ecuadorian Andes\u2019 western foothills.
