Canopy Mindo

How to get to Mindo?

To get to Mindo we depart from the city of Quito, there is a bus route that takes you from Quito directly to Mindo. The transport operator is called "Flor del Valle - Cayambe", the cost of the one-way ticket is $ 2.50 and it is suggested to buy the return ticket as soon as you arrive at the town, at the bus stop offices, as they usually end soon, or any bus that goes to Los Bancos and ask Aventura Ecuador Canopy to leave you at “La Y” in Mindo, this is the access from the main road to Mindo.

The way down is winding and quite long so it is recommended to take the vans that are usually parked in that place, they usually charge $ 3 for the trip to Mindo, so if you go with a good number of people you will get lower cost per head . Of not, there is always the possibility of asking for a lift to any other van that goes down to Mindo, although it is not very frequent.
