Hey all, Amanda and Tessa here reporting in from Mindo, Ecuador.. in the cloud forest! It´s been amazing so far. Yesterday, after some group dicussions and activities, the group hiked up to a zip line company near the hostel and we spent a few hours enjoying 13 different zip lines, letting us fly over and through the amazingly gorgeous canopy of the cloud forest. Later we got to enjoy time in the hot tub to relax and had an awesome dinner at the Hostel. Today is our scavenger hunt in the town of Mindo. We´ve been asked to question people in Spanish about things like the name of the President of Ecuador and what their favorite birds are. We found a little internet cafe here so we can write to yáll! Tomorrow we drive back into Quito to meet our host families and check out the language school where we will be studying for two weeks. Everyone´s excited and having a great time. The best thing we´ve found in Mindo so far has been a beautiful garden and the cutest puppy.
That´s all for now!
All our love
Tessa and Amanda

Yeah...It is great to hear about how beautful it is and the fun things you are experiencing
Careful not to zip line into big spiders, Tess!
I love you, it all sounds so wonderful and I'm so glad that you decided to take on this adventure!
Best of luck and I'll be in touch!
The Valley of Mindo is part of the protected 48,000-acre (19,200 hectares) Mindo Nambillo Reserve.
Mindo cloud forest in Ecuador is a heaven for birdwatchers, it also appeals to photographers and explorers for its outstanding panoramic views.
Enjoy
