Day 238 – Sunset at Mindo Cloud Forest

Nobbies bus back to Quito from Latacunga and cross the city from south to north by a series of local trolley buses and try and find a bus to Mindo, the cloud forest region, only to be told the direct bus departs from another terminal. Thankfully we know a bit more Spanish to work out we can catch another bus at this terminal but will drop us off at on the side of the road and we can get a pick up truck to Mindo. Phew, $3 for tickets and 4 buses later we are on a bus travelling through the most scenic deep valleys of cloud forest. A breath of fresh air to finally arrive early evening to the sounds of frogs and cicadas in such lush green surroundings and a much warmer climate.
