Mindo - October bank holiday

We visited a small cloud forest town called Mindo, two hours from Quito, for a long weekend in October. We stayed in a hostel in the town with great hammocks. We visited some waterfalls and travelled across the forest on a very scary clapped out, old, mini cable car! We visited a butterfly centre, which was amazing. The butterflies would come and land on you and some had a wing span of more than 10cms. We met up with some colleagues from BSQ in the evening and wondered around the pretty town. We're definitely planning on going again soon.
