After a rainy week in
Quito two friends of mine and I decided to go to Mindo over
the weekend.
So on Saturday morning we hopped on the first bus and arrived
after 2,5 hours and a flat tire in the warm and sunny Mindo. We immediately
started our search for the ultimate adventure and ended up in the small office
of one of the numerous tour operators. They introduced us to the various
options we had to get "adrenalized". Canyoning, Tubing, Canopy, Waterfalls,
...
It was really hard to
decide what crazy thing we should try out first. We agreed on canyoning, 3
waterfalls and an amazing landscape. We were very happy with our decision to
book this tour.
Totally wet, exhausted and smiling like
idiots we returned to our hotel to get ready for the next part of the
"ultimate Mindo-Experience": a Chocolate Tour. That even sounded
delicious... and it was! We learned how to make the best cocolate fondue ever from
scratch.
The next day we managed to squeeze canopy,
jumping from a 12 meter waterfall and tubing on a crazy
little river into 7 hours of fun.
After one last
delicious "almuerzo" we got on the last bus back to Quito, wishing
that weekends would consist of more than just two short days...
