Mindo Loma Cloud Forest
At 1400 MASL (4590 ft) is a medium altitude private cloud forest located between Nanegalito and the road to Mindo. It has 7 hectares (17 acres) of primary and secondary recovering cloud forest. There are two short trails and a observation tower on the second floor of the lodge. The observation tower has many hummingbird feeders where you can see the Velvet-purple Coronet. There are also fruit feeders which are frequently visited by the Blue-winged Mountain-Tanager and the Black-chinned Mountain-Tanager. Another real strange beast that we might see is the giant earth worm measuring 4 ft long. This private cloud forest has a very comfortable small Ecolodge with a capacity for 10 people with private rooms built with wood and bamboo. The orquid garden is also worth visiting, it is well maintained and there are many species.
