Our guide William alongside his companion Pantera guided us through the amazing cloud forest of Mindo. We were able to see amazing insects, beautiful frogs, colorful lizards, and spiders. I went with my family including my grandparents and little cousin. It was a very family friendly walk, but still kept it interesting for those used to more challenging experiences. Our guide went out of his way to bring us the animals in this area. It was an unforgettable experience that I would do again
Thanks for being part and contribute with Agencia Llona.
Fun night tour with very involved and knowledgeable guides.
Thanks for being part of the night tour, we simply enjoyed of doing it.
I was a bit early so I could enjoy the surroundings already, that was nice. The tour itself was great, saw a lot of animals and our guide knew everything. He really has a good understanding+knowledge about the ecosystems and the animals that live in there. From reptiles, to frogs and insects
Thank you very much for presence in our reserve, we were so lucky to have you in our tours, I know you enjoyed a lot to observe olingo, anolis, tarantula and others,so, we are happy that you are happy after the tours. Thanks
One of the most impressive and unique experience I've had traveling. The guides are passionate and knowledgeable. Boots and headlights are supplied for an even safer experience. Up close contact if you choose and the extensive list of cool animals include but definitely not limited to the endangered glass frog, other frogs, bioluminescent spider, kinkajou, stinging caterpillar, plate-sized tarantula (guide will confirm your comfort before looking for the den), scorpions, andean crickets, etc.
Thanks for describing all we get in the reserve. We hope you come back next time with all your family.
Good activity. We spent just over 90 minutes on the trail where a number of nocturnal creatures, mainly insects, were pointed out. Despite pouring rain and only two of us in the group, the organizer did not cancel on us. We appreciated their vast knowledge about The natural elements in this area. The only suggestion I have is to clarify the starting point as we had a taxi drop us off at the wrong location, however we were able to contact the organizer through WhatsApp.
We appreciate your comment, we will be living in the meeting point soon,so we won't have more problems.
Great way to spend an evening whilst in Mindo. The guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Whilst I don't love creepy crawlies I had fun seeing them from a distance 🙂
Thank you very much for your comment.
Very knowledgable guide. Thanks to the guiding team and their alert dog Pantera. Also, theren was useful gear available for free for the rainy night.
Thanks for your comment to ours tours.
We really enjoyed the nighttime tour of forest. We learned about the nighttime creatures including frogs, spiders, millipedes and sleeping birds. They had the knack for finding cool animals.
Thanks for considering this tour as educational, really appreciated.
Amazing tour of the beautiful and creepy creatures of the night. The tour guides are a really knowledgeable, fun couple that love what they do and bring so much experience to an action packed night. This was one of the best tours that I've ever been on, not just in Ecuador, but anywhere!
So nice to know you really loved my tour and experience, all the time dedicated to study amphibians has been compensated in this comment. Thanks
I loved this tour, the two hosts were amazing, very friendly and informative on all of the bugs, plants and animals. Spoke in both English and Spanish. I would definitely do this all over again.
Thanks You for your wishes and it brings to US more blessings to do it Even much better...
