River tubing in the Mindo Cloud Forest was so much fun. We did a 45-minute run down the Rio Mindo. They string seven tubes together to form a raft. It's not quite white water rafting but there are some good rapids and drops. Highly recommend if ever in Ecuador!

Mindo: The Cloud Forest
Mindo is a quick trip from Ecuador's capital of Quito. It has much to offer, though we went on a very quiet day and only spent a few hours in the small town. We got a ride out to the Mariposeria (butterfly breeding center) and then saw the Mindo chocolate shop before getting an ice cream and heading back to the city.
There are more attractions to see such as the walk to all of the waterfalls through the tropical forest.
If you don't have time to go to the Amazon, this is one way of seeing the tropical forest microclimate of Ecuador.

Mindo Ecuador, Cloud Forest River Fishing for New Years
Road trip from Quito to Mindo, Ecuador. Fishing for tilapia and trout in the Esmeraldas River (also known as Rio Cinto). Hiking in the cloud forest at night. Driving over the Andes Mountains. We stayed at a nice little place called the Wood Town Hotel (also called Cabanas de Pino). While the kids played in the pool, my wife and I were able to relax a little bit. This is how to enjoy New Years with kids. I'm very excited about the kids learning how to fish and spending more time in nature and especially in the jungle. Hopefully adventures like these will become our typical day to day life here in the Andes Mountains

Birding in the Cloud Forest of Mindo, Ecuador
Thinking of going Bird watching in Ecuador? You'll surely be recommended heading to the cloud forest town of Mindo. I had a hours to explore Hacienda San Vincente / Yellow House Trail & Lodge (Casa Amarilla). It poured down so the birds weren't out for full display, but the hike was pretty amazing.
After that I hopped on the Bus from Mindo to Quito. I stayed at the amazing Artplaza in Plaza Foch area.
