MINDO LINDO

This little green paradise is home to a passionate German-Ecuadorian couple. Pedro is a former carpenter who knows a thing or two about trees, and Heike is a keen ornithologist. They both look after a superb property on which Pedro has planted hundreds of trees over the last 30 years, reforesting land that was once used for grazing. The result is incredible: the forest has grown so fast. The birds are happy, and so are the travelers who manage to book one of the three wooden rooms.
