Journey from Quito into Ecuador's enchanting cloud forest, descending through spectacular Andean scenery to the charming village of Mindo. Visit a local chocolate producer for a fascinating bean-to-bar experience, learning how Ecuador's prized cacao is transformed into artisan chocolate before sampling the finished product. Later, wander through a butterfly garden, where hundreds of colourful butterflies flutter amongst the tropical plants.
The cloud forest comes alive this morning as you explore its lush trails with an expert guide. Learn about the unique plants and wildlife that flourish in this biodiverse ecosystem before visiting one of Mindo’s renowned hummingbird feeding stations, where these tiny birds hover amongst the flowers at remarkably close range. Spend the afternoon at leisure, relaxing at your lodge or exploring the surrounding trails at your own pace.
Return to Quito, stopping en route at the Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve to admire one of the world's few inhabited volcanic craters. The fertile landscape within the crater offers a striking contrast to the surrounding Andean peaks. Arriving back in the capital, you will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight.
