Canopy Zip-Line

Just outside the cloud forest town of Mindo, Ecuador at 4,200 feet above sea level, slide on a harness and clip in for an exhilarating zip-line tour of the forest's canopy layer.  Keep your eyes out for toucans, owls, quetzals, hummingbirds, and the beautiful Cock-of-the-Rock as you explore this unique cloud forest ecosystem.  A series of 13 zip lines connected by tree platforms allow you to soar through the sky covering a distance of more than 2 miles.

From Quito, depart northwest with your guide and private vehicle for a pleasant, 90-minute drive to the Mindo Cloud Forest. Descending the flanks of the Andes, watch the landscape change dramatically as lush green forest and waterfalls dominate.  With over 300 different species of tropical birds and numerous other animals, Mindo is one of the world’s biodiversity “Hot Spots”.
