We went to the Mindo Cloud forest this weekend to get out of Quito for a while. It was beautiful and incredibly relaxing and an easy 2+ hour bus ride out of the city. We WILL be going back again! Here are some photos.
One of the first things we did was take this cable car 500 meters across a canopy. Not the safest thing we've ever done, but it was pretty!
I took this video of the ride:
On the other side we walk down a steep path to a waterfall:
We stayed in a hotel that consisted of three independent cabins with three rooms each nestled into the woods. Each room looked onto the river nearby and you could hear the rushing water all night. It was quite a change from the chorus of dogs and car alarms we hear at home. Here's our little cabin and the river.
I loved the river:
We also visited a Butterfly Sanctuary that houses and breeds some of the 3,000 species found in Ecuador.
Cool flowers:

It was a great weekend and we can't want to go back!
