Mindo for watching birds and cloud forest

One hour out of Quito there is a zone where cloud forest show us a big variety of wild life specially humming birds. There are some places where people installed some feeders and planted flowers where birds look for food. People who likes orchids could not find a better place to see many of these plants. There is a center to look at hundreds of butterflies. Sports are also another part of these tour, Zip line or Canopy could be an option for people who wants to do it.
