Wonderful experience.. went on a private tour. We were picked up promptly at 8. Saw hummingbird farm on the way. Then went on a hike into the forest. That was a long way but enjoyed it. Then the best part was the 2 seater ropeway which went through the thick forest. Felt like we were flying over the forest. This was absolutely amazing ride , thrilling all the way. A must do for every traveler. Our guide was great. Communication was very good.

Very small group tour - we were only with one other couple (luckily they were lovely). We were able to choose what activities we wanted to do, but needed to balance against location (as they are not all close together) and what the other couple wanted to do. Lunch was fantastic but took a really long time... So we had to skip one of our planned afternoon activities. Also note the hike down to the waterfall and back up is quite strenuous and often slippery (wear proper hiking shoes that you don't mind getting wet and muddy).

The Mindo Cloud Forest left us completely fascinated. A natural place of great beauty. The additional activities we did (zip line and chocolate tour) turn out to be more than recommended. A special mention deserves the guide who accompanied us, Óscar. He coordinated the trip to the thousand wonders, was very attentive to us and made a two-hour car trip most enjoyable. We are totally grateful to you for the day we spent.
