A sightseeing tour that combines everything: cable car, zip line, tubing, quad biking on trails, river crossings, a hike to the waterfall, and the magical experience of getting up close to hummingbirds and butterflies, as well as enjoying artisan chocolate.
✓Departure time Quito–Mindo 7:00 AM

✓ Hummingbird watching – Visit a hummingbird garden where you can observe up close various species that inhabit the Andean Chocó, with the chance to feed them from the palm of your hand and watch them feed at hummingbird feeders. You'll be able to see the flight, colors, and behavior of these birds from very close up.

✓ Hike and waterfall crossings – We'll hike through the cloud forest that connects several waterfalls of different heights. The tour combines hiking, river crossings, and the chance to cool off in the natural pools beneath the waterfalls. Moderate level of exertion, with landscapes of dense vegetation at each stage. We will cross on the Tarabita (cable car) over the canopy of the cloud forest, suspended several meters above the river and the vegetation.

✓ Canopy – 2, 3, 6, and even 10 zip lines that cross the forest at great heights, offering an aerial view of the foliage and the mountains. This adrenaline-fueled activity is suitable for different levels of experience and includes full safety gear.

✓ Butterfly House – Tour of a sanctuary where you can observe the entire life cycle of the butterfly: from egg and caterpillar to the adult butterfly in free flight. You can observe some species in flight.

✓ Lunch – Typical Ecuadorian food served in a local restaurant, with a choice of varied and traditional dishes from the region and vegetarian options.

✓ Chocolate tasting – Visit to an artisanal chocolate factory where the entire process is explained: from cocoa cultivation to transformation into chocolate. This includes tasting different cocoa percentages and, in many cases, the chance to try freshly made chocolate and even have a chocolate face mask applied.

✓ Quad bikes (ATVs) – A quad bike tour along rural roads and trails in the Mindo area, passing through mud, small rivers, and vantage points. A dynamic activity that combines adventure with direct contact with the rural landscape.

✓ Tubing – Feel the adrenaline rush on the water, riding down the rivers of the cloud forest on giant inner tubes, guided by certified local operators and wearing a life jacket and helmet. The trip lasts between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the water level and the speed of the current (Important: Wear clothes suitable for getting wet).

✓ Return to Quito - Pick-up point.
