Nene, Tor and I went to Mindo on Thursday morning and that was a blast. We had some fun bus adventures such as taking the most roundabout route possible to get to the terminal we actually wanted to go to in order to get to Mindo. Though we got there and it was great. We stayed in a much less sketchy hostel this time around (highly recommend La Casa de Cecilia) and had a good time. Tor’s room was completely open (as in it was just a bed under the roof, with a door, but no walls whatsoever) and I decided to sleep upstairs in the loft which was also only partially enclosed. We had a good time being nature nerds. It was cloudy and drizzly the entire time we were there, but what else can you expect from a cloud forest?
We got there late in the afternoon on Thursday so we just kinda cruised around, chilled in the hammocks, and ate dinner. Friday morning we were up early, and after breakfast went to an orchid garden and then a hummingbird/butterfly/plant garden. We all appreciated the mutual geekiness as we saw teeeeensy orchids smaller than my pinky nail. After that we went to the main event: ziplining! Luckily there’s 2 zip courses in Mindo so I got to do a different one than last time. It was a blast! Seriously the best way to see the canopy.
Ok all, off to adventures! merry Christmas to wherever you are in the world! Lots of love coming to you all from South America!!!
