Fun, thrills, adventure and laughs in Mindo, with an amazing tour guide - This experience, with Jose, was a highlight of my holiday! From the moment I met Jose, I felt like I'd known him for ages. We were laughing all day. I was surprised, that it was a private tour, as it was so reasonably priced. First up was breakfast with the Hummingbirds! As this was my first time, photographing these birds up close, it was hard to drag myself away! Breakfast was delicious! Then we drove to Mindo and got a cable car over the rainforest, it was stunning! I enjoyed the 90mins I had to explore the 7 waterfalls and have a swim. Then it was time to do 10 zipwires across the rainforest canopy. I loved this and tried all the different positions 🤣 with Jose meeting me at the end of some wires, videoing and smiling. He then told me that no women on his tour had done the Tarzan swing, so I thought I'd do it, just to make him happy...even though he probably says that to all the girls! It was terrifying and exhilarating! We finished with a nice relaxing chocolate tasting! If you're in Quito, definitely book this tour...its a small family run business and Jose will ensure that you have the best experience!

Our tour in Mindo - The tour was really good. We loved the different activities that we did and the fact that the tour guide could speak spanish and english. Our favorite parts of the tour were the waterfalls, which were nice and cold; and the chocolate tasting which was so interesting and delicious. We appreciated that the tour guide picked us up and dropped us off at our housing.

Super Mindo tour with Jorge - I had the opportunity to make a getaway to Mindo with my friend, guided by Jorge and it was really great! After gaining strength in a good restaurant and seeing hummingbirds, we took the cable car that crossed the Mindo forest with a magical view. We took a short hike to see 4 waterfalls, what a great ride! We swam in the last watering hole, it was very nice. Before returning to Quito, Jorge took us to a chocolate factory where they make the best brownies, yummy. Thank you Jorge for your knowledge, for your time, for your good humor and for your jokes. It was a very nice ride, I recommend!:)
