V!VA User‘s Description
Hotels in Mindo have a wide range of quality and price. From a luxury eco lodge like El Monte (pictured on right) set in an isolated nature reserve, offering full meal service, naturalist guides, free tubing and cable car rides; to a budget room in the cheapest dive in Mindo, Flor del Valle, at $4 per person, Mindo has it all.
There are also several hotels just outside of town, which while charging more, will offer an even more remote setting and full-services.
The tourist season is from July - October and national holidays. However, because of Mindo's proximity to Quito, the entrance to town can be filled with stop-and-go traffic any weekend of the year, so its not a bad idea to make a reservation in advance.
V!VA Travel Guides offers objective reviews of the best in each price category with pictures, prices and contact information. But if you see that we're missing your favorite spot, add it in yourself!
