out of curiosity, did you guys arrange a specific tour out of Quito? or any company you may recommend? Heading in May 2024

Not a zoo,not a lab, not a theme park.. 100% nature

Those birds are AMAZING! I'm blown away by their beauty and colors!

You guys are totally making me fall in love with Ecuador, wow! Thank you for letting us see all those incredibly beautiful birds. I hope I get to see it in person someday soon.

"Romancing the Stone." lol 😆 Love it! ❤️

You really like walking! I love knowing Ecuador with you... I'm from Ecuador... but end up in USA. My kids are Americans so... I'm stuck in Midwest. Hate the cold... and the heat. Summers now are 100F. No beaches. I miss the beaches.

My wife’s mother had knee replacement surgery in July and we came to help take care of her during her recovery. We were able to do a two day one night excursion to Mindo! We went to the waterfalls, but we had our youngest son(2 1/2years) so we went to the left trail as it was a shorter trek to get to a waterfall

That's what I call beauty. Amazing place.

Wow. So many colorful birds. A definite place to visit but be prepared for the mud. I would like to see the hummingbirds too. Hope to see this when I finally get to visit. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Oh, what a place you just visited 😊 Everything I've seen from Mindo is absolutely stunning and, all these wonderful birds..just wow to everything there - also in Mindo as all other places in Ecuador are. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗

I am falling more and more in love with Ecuador! I am77 though, with two artificial knees and a new hip. Not sure if I am up to that hike. Sigh, In the past I wouldn't have thought twice. Haha, o'dark thirty! Amazing colors on all of those birds. Did they supply the binoculars?

The blue ones are my favorite 😍

Just come back from Mindo, and went birding with Andersson. He was one of the best drivers I experienced in Ecuador, but he needs to hone his birding skills. He misidentified several species which (fortunately I try to photograph as many as possible) which I correctly identified using those photos and my bird book. Sad that I knew more about some of the birds than a local. Anyway, I love your videos and saw a lot of them before my Ecuador trip, which helped me know what to expect. I will be back and will hopefully bird Quayaquil and more of the Amazon basin. Amazing birds!

Mindo is great for the amount of things to see and do. I had the chance to zip-line for the first time ever and loved it. Great video of the Touccans. We had a Touccan in our papaya tree around 10:30 in the morning about a month ago which is a rarety. We are west of Mindo and love the variety of birds and lizards.

Amelia and JP, this has to be the best video on Ecuador, and you have had many. Why not ask Metropolitan Touring of Ecuador to sponsor you on a 4 day tour of their Mashpi Lodge in the Mindo region. You will probably have to make a two or three part series to include all the niceties of the lodge and dining experience not to mention all the day and night activities of the lodge. It is a slice of heaven! If that works well, you can ask Metropolitan Touring for a promotional trip on M/V Santa Cruise II of the Galápagos Islands.

Thanks for another superb video showing off Ecuador's amazing pájaros. I work for Audubon's Seabird Institute in the Northeast (though am only a mediocre birder) and have hoped to see toucans with my wife in Ecuador for a long time. On prior attempts near Cuenca, heard them but never saw one. This inspires us to keep searching and, eventually, to make the trip to Minda too. Please keep making videos of Ecuador's natural beauty. They will be timeless.
