Mindo Cloud Forest

Discover the mysteries of the Cloud forest, its unique flora and fauna. Visit el Pahuma Orquid Reserve and its “orchid botanical garden and hike on trails through lush, epiphyte-laden cloud forest, alongside, sparkling creeks”.

The region of Mindo is within the protected Mindo-Nambillo forest, located a short two-hour drive to the northwest of Quito. Mindo cloud forest has an incredible diversity of avian fauna, particularly hummingbirds, as well as butterflies.

 
 

This area of primary forest with an immense biodiversity also has some of the highest rates of plant endemism in the world: orchids, bromeliads, heliconias, ferns, vines, mosses and lichens grow in abundance here.

 
 

Specially trained guides introduce guests to the mysteries of the Cloud Forest, pointing out the unique flora and fauna and leading excursions along nature paths flanked by crystalline rivers.
