Approximately two hours drive northeast of Quito, we will visit a Hummingbird Garden, where we can see at least 10 different species, enjoying a nice coffee as we watch. Afterwards, at more than 3300 meters above sea level, and surrounded by mountains in the Cayambe-Coca Reserve, we will visit the hot springs. Surrounded by the Andean Altiplano, it truly is a gift of nature. The Cayambe – Coca Reserve contains one of the most diverse and protected forests so this trip also offers amazing landscapes.

It has been scientifically proven that natural hot springs contain various curative minerals and medicinal properties for health. Besides … it’s a great place to relax!

This was amazing and the organisation by Catalina was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble . Our guides Pepe and Victor had amazing knowledge and you felt safe at all points . There are plenty of cycle lanes as well . It was great to see a bit more of Quito and learn about some of the murals . The market was fab trying various fruits . Victor then took us through some chocolate tasting and what he does not know about chocolate is not worth knowing. It was an incredible afternoon and would thoroughly recommend .

This was a great introduction to Ecuador. Our guide Pepe was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot in a short space of time . The middle of the world experience was also fun with the experiments at the equator as well as seeing some traditional huts and dress . Would recommend

Our guides were fantastic from beginning to end. “Viva Quito” !!!! Equipment/Mountain Bikes, helmets were also very good. (suggest bells for urban riding and equip with lights for evening rides). Terrain has hills and at 9400’ altitude. We learned a lot of the history and various neighborhoods of Quito. Stay alert for some rather serious pot holes and have fun The tour concluded with a very informative and delicious chocolate tasting class. 👍😊

We had the most wonderful time in Mindo with Pepe and Alvarito. They were the kindest people and gave us the most special experience. We got to see the hummingbird garden, Mindo forest and waterfalls, rode the cable car across the forest, butterfly garden, and chocolate tasting tour. It was such an incredible day, and so so worth the time and money. Pepe and Alvarito 100% made this day and we would definitely do it again! Thank you!!
