Mindo Cloud Forest (Bosque Nublado), Ecuador 2013

We spent only 2 days as Las Gralarias in the Mindo Cloud Forest outside Quito, Ecuador on our way to the Galapagos Islands. An American named Jane Lyons runs the facility which is both a tourist destination and research facility. We had a great time watching the many hummingbirds around her feeders and hiking in the cloud forest.

Gorgeous pics. I went to Mindo also last year. Who was your guide? Did you use a tour? I love your hummers.
