Exploring MINDO Ecuador | Birds, butterflies and chocolate | Ecuador Travel Vlog

[@EricandSarah]

Hope you enjoyed seeing the beautiful birds and butterflies of Mindo! Who watched until the end and is excited for what's to come on our channel?? Because we are! 😀

[@amimaneracookingmore7764]

I wish you the best guys! I have a land there just 20 min from Mindo. You maybe in Perú now. Next time will be. Bon voyage!!!

[@kayandpaulwest7941]

We will be moving to Ecuador soon so we have really loved watching your videos! We just retired and are MUCH older than you. We would have been that adventurous 40 years ago! You guys are living life right! Enjoy it while you can. We also want to explore Peru so we will be watching!

[@davearaujo8883]

So sad you're leaving. I know there's so much to discover there in Ecuador. But I'm SO EXCITED you're heading to Peru.. it's just as beautiful there too! When you go there check out Lima, the Nazca lines, Cuzco, & of course Machu Picchu 👍

[@themaminomadsvivreenequate2277]

Oh no! You’re leaving. You have to come back in Mindo one day to go to Mindo Lindo to see the hummingbirds and to my friend’s Cabaña Armonia y Jardin de Orquideas. You can take a tour of the hotel garden to see a lot of different orchids. Taty and her mother know a lot about them and you can also see hummingbirds there, toucans, motmots and other birds

Safe travels to Peru nice place but so little to see besides Cuzco, Nazca and the dessert and I can see you returning to Ecuador there’s no other place in the world with so much diversity. Great video of Mindo!!!

Ecuador is great because because everything is relatively so close. But it is silly to say there is only three things to see in Peru... It's a huge country full of magic.

[@carlosespinoza2453]

Ecuador a Beautiful Country 🇪🇨 as usual . . . In case of traveling to Peru 🇵🇪 check places in the Northern Area as Kuelap Ruins a pre-inca culture. Also beautiful Gocta Waterfalls , Moche Culture ( 2 thousands years old , including the marvelous museums + caballitos de Totora ) , Chimu Culture ( ChanChan Ruins ) , Cajamarca ( and its Baños del Inca, hotwaters ) . . . Tombs in the cliff of Mountains as Karajia , Sonche Canyon , Moyobamba and the Land of Orchids , Caral and the Oldest Civilization in America . . . Chavin de Huantar as the Sacred Place before MahcuPicchu , + a lot o beautiful small towns as Chachapoyas, Chiquian, Chacas, etc. It all only in the NOrthern area. Excluding the wild big Pacaya Samiria National Reserve deep in the Jungle . . .

[@EricandSarah]

Thank you for all the recommendations! Looking forward to exploring Peru!

You are Welcome to Peru . . . Once you are here, eating the Gastronomy is a must do. Ceviche , Lomo Saltado, Papa Rellena, Anticuchos, Picarones, Mazamorra Morada, Chicha MOrada, Caldo de Gallina, Alfajores, etc. Pachamanca, Cuy Chactado, Chicha de Jora, etc, etc. endless list

[@hereticsaint100]

I'm technically scheduled to vacation in the Quito area this month, but what with all the lock downs and restrictions, and increased prices of things there since they had to cut max capacities, I might cancel and stay in the US. I dunno. Looks pretty. Thanks for sharing.

[@EricandSarah]

Obviously travelling is a very personal opinion (especially during the pandemic), but for the record, we currently aren’t experiencing any lockdowns, restrictions or increased prices in Ecuador.

[@hereticsaint100]

@@EricandSarah really? I heard you have to wear masks and the price for vans went up cuz the max occupancy was reduced. What part are of Ecuador are you in now?

[@EricandSarah]

@@hereticsaint100 Well yes, masks are worn at all times (we've just gotten used to that I guess haha). But otherwise, we feel like life is normal in most places. We don't have anything to compare to pre-pandemic, but we find transportation to be very reasonable and most tours/hotels to be discounted because they're so desperate for tourism.

[@pedroblanco8311]

Would you consider modifying the KZbin subtitle configurations on your channel to allow for language toggling? We're a multilingual family, and typically gather around for viewing on a big screen via a Roku. If a channel doesn't set this up in advance, we're not able to "auto translate" as one can on a p/c. You may be familiar with Ayngelina's channel. If you're not, here's one of her recent videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inzVoIWqodRjpcU I've asked her how she does this. She explained 2 techniques. The simple way is to let KZbin determine what you're saying in a video, and allow them to translate it to the languages you choose. The other fashion is to upload a text file to tell KZbin exactly what you're saying, and have a more precise translation. To be clear, we're not asking you to take the time to submit a Text file, however would you be kind enough to allow KZbin to display subtitles in Spanish (Ideally Latin American Spanish)? It would facilitate a happy harmony for us to watch more of your videos in a group setting, and we'd be very appreciative. Have a great day, Pedro

[@EricandSarah]

Hi, thanks for explaining this. Unfortunately, KZbin will only auto-generate one set of subtitles and because our channel is in English, that is the language it will do for free. Translating to Spanish would require us to do so manually (or pay someone to do so). It is something we would love to do in the future though!

[@pedroblanco8311]

​@@EricandSarah Thanks for your response. You're right, however after allowing KZbin/Google to auto-generate the subtitles, if you go back in under settings, you can choose how many additional languages you'd like to have displayed. You wouldn't have to pay anyone, or manually type it in. Thanks for looking under the configurations hood.

[@EricandSarah]

@@pedroblanco8311 hmm I’ve never been able to add more languages without manually adding them. But I’ll try look into it again :)
