If you have seen the bird’s natural paradise of Tandayapa, a place that seems to have been chosen by birds to gather together and celebrate, then you may wonder if there is in the world another place like that. Amazingly there is, and it is found very close to Tandayapa. Its name is Mindo Cloud Forest.
Home of an impressive variety of unique flora and fauna, Mindo is a place where clouds come together with the trees and the birds, creating a cocktail with the most fantastic landscapes. Only 68km (42mi) to the west of Quito, this wildlife reserve offers the most wonderful ecological adventures. Here, activities such as trekking and sight-seeing will make you feel in contact with nature. You will also be able to observe more than 420 different bird species. Looking at the amazing humming birds flying nonstop and the butterflies cheering up the environment with their colors, you will understand the importance of all species, even if they seem small and simple.
The forest’s road will lead you through a spectacle of colors and sounds with trees, waterfalls, butterflies and flowers. The numerous orchids found in the way will make you take a closer look and observe each little amazing detail. In this forest are found 500 orchid species out of a total of 4000 species registered in Ecuador, and you may see them in the area’s viewpoints or in places harder to reach, like the top of a hill.
Mindo is the home of fantastic creatures living inside an unknown world. It offers visitors a trip that will show them the beautiful simplicity of nature inside a pristine forest with multicolored plants and animals that will be your hosts during your visit.
