If you are looking for a Company to handle all of your Mindo needs, Luis, and Mindo Xtreme is it! I contacted Luis to handle a large group as we were planning on getting married in Mindo. Our group was 20-50 people and he planned two days of adventures, picked us up from hotel, drove us, arranged transportation to and from Quito, arranged for after hour tours, with meals. He also arranged my welcome dinner in el Mariposario and it was better than the wedding itself!!!
We went tubing, canyoning, and hiking with Luis. He also drove me around after the wedding to the best places to get pictures and he himself was always available via whats app to assure that anything we needed was covered.
I would say, if you are going to Mindo, dont book anything until you speak to Luis, message him via Whats App and he will make sure everything is perfect. I could not be more thankful to him...

There are more than 6 pools you can swim in, but we only saw 3 as we were limited to 2 hours. You could spend a whole day there easily. There are more activities offered, but these two were plenty for one day and we loved all of...

The owner is a tour operator and links you up with any of the local tour groups and sell the tickets for entry at the same prices. He also has some discount bundles which are a great option. The hotel is about 400 meters outside of town and is an easy walk in for meals. The owner numerous times gave me a free lift into town and was extremely helpful. I only gave a 4 star review as currently there is major road construction directly in front of hotel that was a bit annoying, but that is not the hotels fault. Realistically for the price, the location, the services are excellent and I would normally would have leaned toward 5 stars. If you are looking for a luxury hotel this is not it but very...
