Mindo, Ecuador - A must see destination!

[@JBernhard72]

Just to add Mindo is a bit of a cloud forest area... a wonderful place to visit. The zip line is strenuous, definitely wear good shoes! Be aware English is NOT widely spoken. I can not remember the little place we ate ate... great chicken/beef/sausage, six of us ate for $38. Some of the best food we ate while in EQ

[@KrisandMike]

Very true. Thanks for watching.

[@DavidAyotte-p5u]

WOW! Very nicely done . Have parachuted and bungee. Thought zip lining would be boring and uncomfortable. That was fantastic ! Except for the part where I get stuck. And all the hummingbirds land an suck all the sugar out of me. haha.( I'm 98 % sugar ) Mike , I worked for an exterior tall building window cleaner in Minneapolis . 99 % of all injuries happen at the first two floors . Anything above that precautions are taken much more serious . Thanks for another great video .

The prehistoric looking bird and the yellow/black one were cool!

[@KrisandMike]

I had an excellent steak at the Argentinian restaurant for $16, including sangria 🍷 I’m acrophobic and I had to close my eyes when the ski lift chair ride as it stopped midway and we dangled in the wind 😬😂

[@KrisandMike]

Lol. The Argentinian was across the street. That's great 😃.

[@cinbee3922]

Holy, it just gets better...😮 the hummingbirds seemed less competitive than the ruby throated ones here...and so may toucans! What a paradise!

[@KrisandMike]

Thanks for the love. Yes agreed on the hummers.

[@thebucksstophere8870]

Wonderful Trip!

[@KrisandMike]

Thanks very much.

[@Robinsvideos2011]

That looks like a blast! Something I wish I had done before returning. Thanks for sharing!

[@KrisandMike]

Thanks Robin. Take care.

[@jessicahenry3929]

Beautiful footage 😍 The hummingbirds would have had me giddy in excitement!

[@KrisandMike]

Thanks. The hummers were certainly special. A real high for the day.

[@jerrym3261]

That's it! The hummingbirds and you have gotten there in the first 10 seconds.

[@KrisandMike]

Lol thanks my friend 😀

[@jerrym3261]

@@KrisandMike One hummingbird gets my full attention, two hummingbirds excite me, three hummingbirds are sheer bliss. I can't imagine flocks of hummingbirds. Here I see male Ruby-throated and female Ruby-throated hummingbirds. That's it, There are 15 species of hummingbirds in the US, 5 of those have populations less than 5,000. There are 132 species of hummingbirds in Ecuador and 40 of those are in Mindo. The moral to the story is, I need to be in Ecuador and hope I can survive the thrill.

Esa iglesia es parecida a la de la película Coraline.

[@KrisandMike]

Interesante. Me encanta Mindo. Es una zona preciosa.

[@Globetrotter5198]

Show the lodge😢

[@KrisandMike]

Sorry it's always a hard choice when cutting footage. Lots on their website tho. Check it out.

[@jamielivingston7765]

What was the weight limit on the Zipline?

[@KrisandMike]

Nothing posted. Welcome to Ecuador.

[@BPe-ie9je]

kris, you move the camera slow,,,, which is GOOD

[@KrisandMike]

Thanks 😊

[@BPe-ie9je]

whats the population of Mindo?

[@KrisandMike]

About 3000 but grows with tourism.

[@BPe-ie9je]

@@KrisandMike makes sense. Way restaurants and cubs were lined up it looked like accomodating BUS loads.... The forestry was wonderful to see coming from 'Northwoods' Michigan
