Traveler Reviews of Hostería Séptimo Paraíso

Septimo Paraiso Cloud Forest Reserve

Rating: 100%

This was my first visit to the Septimo Paraiso Cloud Forest Reserve. The overall reserve is quite large and is home to much wildlife. I stood out in the parking rotary for an hour and saw about 8 species of birds as they cruised through. The hummingbird garden is spectacular. The hiking trails offer moderate to more adventurous hiking experiences with good views of the valley and good vantage points to observe wildlife. The accommodations were very comfortable and the food was hearty and plentiful. I will be going back for more adventures.

Like the title says, the food is great, service is friendly, warm and basically great, and there are some wonderful trails that allow one of the most impressive views of the Mindo Cloud Forest we were able to see first hand during our trip.
