Mindo Cloud Forest by Bicycle! Fun Tour
Joined 2023
From Quito, we descend by bike through the Pichincha volcanic complex into the Andean Chocó (Cloud forest), crossing various climate zones and admiring unique birdlife, waterfalls and rivers. A light drizzle is common in the cloud forest, adding to the experience. We ride with the safety and confidence of a support 4x4 vehicle throughout the route. After lunch, we visit a hummingbird reserve in Mindo and end the day with a chocolate tasting.

About Tour Guide Andrea V.
Hi there! I'm a passionate tour guide and explorer with nearly 15 years of experience working on cultural projects, museums, and heritage spaces in Quito and Ecuador. Over the years, I’ve explored mountains, trails, and hidden routes leading to the Coast and the Amazon—by 4x4, bike, public transport, or even on foot! Living in the Central Andes has allowed me to connect deeply with indigenous communities and nature.
Besides classic tours like Otavalo, Mitad del Mundo, Quilotoa, Papallacta, Mindo and more I also offer unique journeys with a fresh perspective, taking you beyond the ordinary into stunning, lesser-known landscapes. Traveling is about experiencing, not just visiting.

“Andrea is a dream guide! ”
Andrea and her driver, Pablo, vastly exceeded our expectations at every turn (and there are LOTS of turns on these windy roads). They are both incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, warm, and connected to both the place and the people we visited and to our experience as their guests. I was on the fence about the investment, but the value add vastly exceeded the cost. We were able to experience the tourist sites, culture, cuisine, and history more deeply because of Andrea and Pablo’s guidance. Oh and she is an amazing photographer, so it looks like we hired a pro to capture our vacation. Major bonus! We are a couple traveling with two teen children and they somehow managed to create a trip that was perfect for all of us, individually and collectively- constantly adapting the journey for our needs. We can’t wait to travel with them again.

Thank you so much! Those days were truly special for us too — we learned a lot from you y hablamos un poco de español también, ¿verdad? :) I’m so happy you enjoyed the trip! You’re always welcome back to Ecuador — there’s still so much beauty to discover here. Thanks for recommending us to future travelers! Warm regards, Andrea Pablo says Hi!!! :)
