Your Travel Experience with Galapagos PRO
Mountainbike in Mindo
This is an ideal day trip, starting on the slopes of the active volcano Guagua Pichincha and heading down to the coast into the cloud forest of Mindo.
The lush cloud forest is full of bromeliads, palms and orchids. To your right flows a mountain stream whose soothing sound will accompany you. And again and again you will be captivated by small waterfalls. Every now and then you will have to stop to photograph a flower you have never seen before!
Afterwards, you will continue to the Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, where lunch will be served. Keep one eye on the road and the other on the sky: chances are good to see parrots, hummingbirds, toucans and cockatoos.
After a delicious lunch, continue on a 20 km bike ride to Mindo, world famous for its biodiversity.
