Mindo, Ecuador is a Tiny Town nestled in the Ecuadorian cloud forest. We spent two days exploring the town and in this video, we find some butterflies, hike to waterfalls, and tour a chocolate factory. Who knows what day two will bring!

Thank you so much!! We are already so in love with Ecuador ❤️❤️

[@benburns5995]

Hi Jordan and Emily, great video of your time in Mindo Valley Ecuador. Great treat for you to be greeted by so many different dogs on your waterfall hike. That one Black and White puppy was really cute. It almost looked like it had some Corgi Welsh in it's heritage. The chocolate tour was amazing and it's always fascinating how they create chocolate from the Cocoa Pods. Wish we could have smelled through the video on your Cocoa tour. We were able to see that one butterfly on video with the Blue colored wings, no worries Jordan.

[@JordanandEmily]

We love the puppies where ever we go but these ones were special 😄 glad you got a look at the blue butterfly 🦋

[@streetfoodnetworkpk]

Very Nice Enjoy watching. Great video!

[@JordanandEmily]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@hayleyrichardson9203]

Butterflies and chocolate! Sounds like a perfect day

[@JordanandEmily]

Honestly - no complaints here 😅

[@yourlocalexplorers]

you always take us to so many interesting spots guys, how cool is the cable car 🤩

[@JordanandEmily]

So cool but so scary hahaha

[@juliannedean537]

Beautiful video, loved the butterfly house. Remember when we hatched monarch butterflies when you were little, it was amazing seeing them hatch & let them fly off in the garden. A fun fact for you Jordan, not sure if you know but we have a beautiful blue butterfly that lives in the tropics known as the Ulysses butterfly & also known as the Dunk Island butterfly. I think having waterfall puppies meet you every hundred steps is a great idea, someone should get onto that. Miss you both, love you, mum.xx 🦋

[@JordanandEmily]

Yes! It was all I was thinking about when we were there haha Love you miss you

[@yanetthomas5407]

New to your channel So sad that I missed you guy when you visited nyc would have love to have met you in person And to show you around local spot Will definitely catch up this weekend on pass video God bless

[@JordanandEmily]

oh that would have been so lovely! next time we're in New York! ;)

[@yanetthomas5407]

Thanks!

[@JordanandEmily]

😲 thank you so much!! 😊

[@yanetthomas5407]

Do you guy have any plan to visit the Caribbean?

[@jordandehaas2168]

@@yanetthomas5407 not this time around but we've always liked the idea or doing a bit of a cruise around the Caribbean!

Hey Emily and Jordan! What a great video! 😄 We've been following you guys for a while now, and we've seen how you guys have improved so quickly with filming, editing and planning while traveling non-stop, great job! We've just read your July's income & expenses report, congratulations! The new website with wordpress looks amazing by the way. 😍 We are planning to embark on a similar lifestyle soon, but it is still a bit scary to think about leaving the day job and starting to drain our savings. But I guess you have to start somewhere, and we don't want to wait too long haha. Any tips?

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh my gosh - you have no idea how much this means to us! We've had a stressful morning (trying to sort Machu Picchu 😅) and was feeling a bit down but this has really put a spring in my step! ❤️ That's so exciting!! It's definitely a scary move but SOOO worth it. Honestly, just dive in head first!! Learning to full time travel is surprisingly exhausting because you are continually making decisions or solving problems but if you can just be patient with yourselves and allow a few 'rest' days here and there you will be fine - we are always on Insta or here if you need to chat too ❤️

[@FeedingFoca]

@@JordanandEmily Aww thanks for your reply! It's very encouraging to hear that. 😄 You might not realize the positive impact that you guys are making, since most of the people usually don't take the time and effort to leave a feedback. But we just wanted to let you know that your content and the energy of you two are amazing. Oh, we spend about a month in Peru a few years ago, we walked the Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu and we would highly recommend it! Actually we enjoyed much much more the 5 days trail than visiting the ruins itself. Buen viaje! ☺️

[@JordanandEmily]

@@FeedingFoca ah that’s so good to hear that the trek was good we were literally tossing up just bussing there or to trek! Who did you go with?!

[@FeedingFoca]

@@JordanandEmily we did not do it with a tour. We did it on our own and sleeping in local houses which was a lot cheaper, because the tours are a bit expensive 😊 if you want to have more info about it, just let us know 🙂

Kata orang dulu Ekuador adalah negara maju tetapi sekarang negara ini menjadi negara bawah atau berkembang, model pemerintah disana juga mirip dengan di negara saya. Betul atau tidak tetapi itu yang saya tau dari Ekuador

[@JordanandEmily]

Thats interesting! We are in Cuenca now and it seems very developed!

[@maksumzaifudin5859]

@@JordanandEmily I mean Ecuador he said before was a very developed country but now he says this country has become a developing country.

[@stargazer5073]

Did you get pictures of water falls?

[@JordanandEmily]

Only the ones in the video :( we didn't end up going very deep to the bigger waterfalls!

[@vicbor5526]

22 US dollars, or 17 pounds for a pizza? Rather steep. 😏

[@JordanandEmily]

😄 super steep right!!?

[@ibrahimmourtada8868]

Tip: the shots of you walking away are too many and old. I recommend finding something more creative as fillers. It may help boost your views 😊

[@JordanandEmily]

Thanks for the tips! any ideas?
