Just a couple of hours drive from Quito you will reach Ecuador’s Cloud Forest, an area with an abundance of trees, plants and birds. This place is without a doubt a bird lover’s paradise! Ecuador’s Cloud Forest has been split into various reserves, one of which is nearby to the small town of Mindo where you can not only go bird watching but also visit a butterfly farm. Activities on your visit to this huge area may include; trekking, swimming in waterfalls and wildlife spotting.
