Safe and secure harnesses....with great guides....this is the place to experience zip-lining at its best. Our guides gave us great instructions on how to enjoy each of the 10 zip lines. The 45-60 minute adventure was $15/per person.....the best bargin in Ecuador. More

This was absolutely worth the trip from Quito. We actually spent the night at El Crater hotel in Mitad del Mindo (highly recommended) and took a one hour taxi ride here in the morning. If you can, arrive early before the crowds start. We got there by 9:30am and we had the forest and zip lines to ourselves. When we... More

Lots of long, high cables which was really nice. Views over the cloud forest and farm land. We saw a toucanette while waiting at one zip. Unfortunately, couldn't superman or anything without going tandem. Costa Rica was better, but this was awesome for the price (only 15$). More

After the first cable (you somehow have to get used to the feeling) you can really enjoy the view over the forest and mindo! The special figures may not be for everyone, but you should try it. I especially liked the "superman", when you don't see the cable and really feel like flying. In addition, the "guias" are very nice... More

If you like a thrill then this would do the trick. You are securely harnessed to a pully on a cable and launched across the gorge with what looks like a tiny river at the bottom. You pick up some speed which I guess is part of the thrill. The is food and drinks available More

The drive into Mindo was a little treachrous-lots of pot holes but over all not too far from Quito. Being from Ontario we have been to blue mountain tree top rob walk,no comparison for a cost of$10 usd each! We were treated to such spectacular first hand views of the rain forest. Am not too terrible athletic so I felt... More

Not to be missed, if you go to Mindo -- and you should definitely make time for Mindo! -- is this terrific way to experience the cloud forest canopy. By all means, unless you are with very young children, do the "full circuit" -- a run of 13 different zip lines, from ridge to ridge, over deep canyons and chasms... More

Our entire family loved it. According to everything we read and heard, this zip lining company was the best in the area so we tried it out. We had a lot of fun, the staff was very professional and we would love to do it again. More

Zip lines . Have 2, 3, 5, and 13 cable options. Very reasonable, group rates. Be prepared to hike in slippery conditions between cables. Long pants and sleeves, insect repellant a must. 13 cable run 21/2 to 3 hours. More
