Highly Recommended Birdwatching Experience in Mindo! - I had a fantastic time birdwatching in Mindo! The experience was incredibly rewarding — the variety of birds we saw was amazing, and the natural beauty of the area made it even more special. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate, which made the whole experience both fun and educational. They spotted birds I would have never seen on my own and shared lots of interesting facts along the way. Whether you’re an experienced birder or just curious about nature, I highly recommend joining a birdwatching tour in Mindo. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
