Zauberhafte informative und abenteurlicheTour in den Nebelwald.

Wir sind morgens an unsere Adresse pünktlich abgeholt worden. Die Fahrt durch die Abwechslungsreiche Landschaft war fantastisch. Kompliment an den Fahrer: sehr angenehme Fahrweise! Unsere Führerin Andrea ging auf alle usere Wünsche ein. Sie versorgte uns außerdem mit viel Imput. Sehr spannend. Wir haben eine Kollibri Station besucht. Zauberhaft! Gleich dabei haben wir eine kleine unf feine Kaffeplantage besichtigt. Super guten Kaffee! Dann ging es richtig in den Nebelwald. Über eine Seilbahn gelangten wir in ein wunderschönes Wandergebiet mit vielen Wasserfällen. Am Nachmitteg haben wir an einer Schmetterlingstation gehalten. Auch das super interessant. Zum Abschluss gab es ein leckeres Mittagessen in Mindo. Wir kamen geflasht und glücklich wieder in Quito an.

Omar, our guide was excellent. He explained aspects of our tour with patience and professionalism. However, my wife and I are in our upper 70s, so we decided to forego the long hiking part of the tour, and Omar rearranged our schedule accordingly. Instead of the long hike, we spent our time at a place to observe hummingbirds, a butterfly sanctuary, and an orchid exhibit. The hummingbird observatory was extraordinary, and a fantastic place to take pictures. The butterfly and orchid exhibits were nothing special the botanic garden in Quito is much better for orchids, and we have better butterfly exhibits in the U.S. My wife also went on a really interesting chocolate making tour in Mindo, and the town of Mindo is quite charming. Still, we had to pay separate entrance fees for each of the exhibits, and for people like we, who can't do the long hike, those fees should have been included as part of the package.
