      • Reach the waterfalls and decide how far you want to explore the place with your guide. (The Waterfalls Sanctuary is a large complex of several waterfalls; depending on your physical conditions, it is possible to visit up to 5 in a roll or simply walk a little bit around, take a short cable car ride and visit one of the nicest ones. We will help you to decide while there.)

      • Stop in Mindo to have lunch in one of the local restaurants if you are not going for tubbing.
      • Get to know more about butterflies, orchids and the famous hummingbirds at the farm in town.
    • Yumbos Chocolate
      • Visit the Chocolate farm, where you will learn the entire process before chocolate brownies go to your mouth. Did you know that the Ecuadorian Jungle Cultures started preparing chocolate before the Mexicans aborígenes over 5000 years ago?
