HAPPIEST PLACE IN ECUADOR! (Mindo Ecuador Hummingbirds)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- This cloud forest has been on Amelia's bucket list since we moved to Ecuador nearly 5 years ago, and we finally made it!
It's located just 2 hours west of Quito, and it's a truly magical place. It's very popular with foreign and Ecuadorian tourists, so the town is very tourist oriented.
The Mindo Cloud Forest is mostly known for the wide variety of butterflies and birds, including hummingbirds, toucans, tanigers and many more. It's a bird watchers paradise!
But it's also popular with outdoor adventurers who enjoy hiking, riding ATVs, river rafting, mountain biking, etc. If you're an outdoors person, you'll love Mindo Ecuador!

Thanks for all your information which got me to move to Cuenca from NY, hopefully I’ll get to meet you someday in the future.
What's this membership community all about. Membership sounds like a cost to me. Are you charging people for this membership. What exactly do i get for this membership. Really looking forward to your response. Ecuador Raw & Real
MY HEARTH ME1T WITH THE HUMMINGBIRDS...
Dicen que los colibríes son ángeles. Tuvieron ángeles en sus manos. Ecuador te da esa grandiosa oportunidad. Gracias a los dos por compartir las maravillas de la creación.
What a beautiful couple, thanks for showing in us how beautiful country
that God gave us to the Ecuadorians.I enjoy your documentaries, thanks so much.
Ecuador is an country very beautiful!!
There’s a reason Mindo rhymes with lindo! I love it!
Big are hugs how beautiful and thank you kindly please take care love you
All I can say is “WOW”. This video made me cry tears of joy and amazement! Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful and magical experience with us. ❤
This is one of my favorite videos! Please keep making videos like this. 🙏 Ecuador is so beautiful! Hopefully we’ll be visiting soon. Thank you!!!❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍🇪🇨
That butterfly aviary brought me to tears. The music made it extra magical. Thanks for this video. Thanks for sharing. Love you two!
It was magical! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
My absolute favorite place so far in central and south America. I want to semi retire in Mindo. I don't care about beaches, they are lovely, but give me a more temperate climate. They didn't get shots of the hummers as big as robins soooooo much to absorb
I teared up when you guys showed such genuine, child-like excitement with the butterflies! Isn't that what happiness is all about?! A $5 memory that will last a lifetime! Definitely one of my favorite videos. And the music added such a wonderful background! You should be proud of yourselves, showing how to enjoy the simple things in life! ¡Chao amigos!
Mindo is like paradise. Equador is a blast of life and beauty I am getting costumed to enjoy seeing every week, thanks to you.
Our beautiful country so biodiverse!!! 👏👏🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Sí lo es! 😊👍
Mindo es muy hermoso 🤩 los pajaritos me gustan mucho 🙏🖐️
Resulto ser un magico video gracias al vuelo de las mariposas y colibries.!!!
Que belleza! Gracias desde Canada! Ecuador it's gorgeous! Wow!
So beautiful ! Like J.P. saying "we walked for 35 min to go 3 blocks 🤗
I saw Mindo when I visited Ecuador this past January. Thank you for bringing back so many memories. It is indeed a very special, magical place.
😊👍
OMG that location is breath taking. I got so emotional when I saw all those butterflies. Don't know why. It's so fairytale like.
This was such a lovely video. Your love for Ecuador really shines through. Very inspiring and keeps me excited for our coming adventure in a few years.
Thank you so much.
Both of you, your Spanish is getting better and better. Jp has less accent than Amelia. Just remember its not english with spanish words, the sound for "Que" is not "Kay" its more like "Ke" working on your accents while learning is the best way to end up with little or no accent. Hear how others say things even though you know the pronunciation. Accent free is how you want to be (or as close as possible). Great job guys. I am proud of you!
Spanish and English are so similar increible =incredible ,comprende = comprehend ,progelma = problem . even though I was born in the USA I didn't speak English in First grade because no one spoke it at home ,we had no TV to hear English but the teacher was so patient with me and I surprised everyone in a couple of months I was jabbering away in English because Mrs.Corn pointed out the similarly of the languages ! Hooray for Teachers EVERY Where 🤗🙌👏👍
@angel Delgado
Well in my opinion the real Spanish pronounciation is from Spain jejejeje
One of my favorite vids of yours so far...Just love the Lush jungle Orchids, butterflies, and fresh chocolate....Paradise indeed. Thanks!
Que maravilloso lugar MINDO…. estoy como ustedes, sin palabras para expresar este precioso lugar con diferentes mariposas, pajaritos y el paisaje…..WOW….WOW!! Gracias por compartir….me encantan sus videos y me hacen conocer mi país de origen….
This was magical is right! All my favorite things. What a gorgeous place.
Que bellezaaaa!!! La próxima vez que vaya a Ecuador visitaré ese lugar gracias 🙏 por llevarnos a este paraíso !!
Your experience in Mindo, especially the butterfly flight area, was just incredible! When Amelia said she felt like she was in a Disney movie, after looking around that area, I totally agree!
Music at butterfly garden is so perfect. Congratulations.
I love that you use the language of your new country even when it is the two of you.
It's a hidden paradise. I've never heard of or seen the place in any travel videos. Now I have to visit Ecuador. Thanks from 🇨🇦
that place looks like paradise!
Hola me contagian de esa felicidad disfruten mucho es Amelia en el paraiso
Ecuador's greatest salespeople!
Loved this video. Hummingbirds and butterflies were awesome. Applause to you two for your Spanish progress, walking and interacting respectfully with the locals.
Gracias! 😊
Oh, wow! Now we need to visit this valley! I can hardly wait to show this video to my wife! April can't come soon enough when we plan to visit Ecuador on our quest to find a new home!
Fantastic video. I definitely want to go there when I visit. They have my three loves: hummingbirds, butterflies and orchids. a definite must-see place. Thank you for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video of the humming birds. Wow!
ECUADOR is all you need!!! Wow.
Mindo was incredible. So many hummingbirds. Javier was our guide as well. Hopefully you get to see the Ant Pita. We went to his families place for lunch which over looked the beautiful mountains. We did the same thing with the hummers. We bought one of his beautiful oil paintings of a hummer.
“Wow! I feel like I’m in a Disney movie” that looks so amazing! We just love your video’s. 5 years till we retire and you guys have inspired us so much.
My wife and I are now taking Spanish and soon plan on visiting beautiful Ecuador.
I’ll be signing up for your online course in the next few days.
You guys are amazing!
Great! 😊👍
This place is awesome, the birds really liked you Amelia
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing (Maravilloso video, gracias por compartirlo).
One of my videos you’ve ever posted. Your joy and sheer awe was so wonderful to watch. And it is indeed a very very special place.
Gracias! 😊👍
Excelente’. Life continues in a wonderful way!!! Thanks.
It is like Eden. So beautiful.
Your visit to Mindo helped us decide to stay 2 nights instead of a day trip. Platinum Toucan looks great and quite affordable with a good location near town. We were looking at an ecology but are happy with the change.
Took my breath away! Muchas gracias!
My, its like you stepped back in time, and the tiny birds weren't afraid of us. What a wonderful place! Thank you for sharing!
Mindo is on my wishlist! Thank you for this amazing video to share with my husband to encourage him to visit Ecuador 🤗
I would be in Heaven! my favorite....
What a beautiful experience! Thank you for sharing it!
Another place in beautiful Ecuador to add to my bucket list. That pail is gettin' pretty heavy! lol Thank you both for taking us along on your adventures.
Amazing! Bonus point: excellent soundtrack for this video
The blue colored with the long feathered birds are just astonishing,!!!!!! 🌻🐕🇺🇸
Just went to Mindo and Ibarra this past week (my wife is ecuadorian). I love finding the beautiful hostals tucked away in nature and relaxing....mindo was super nice but my favorite this time was Hostal Caranvalle in Ibarra.....my all time fav still is Casa Suiza down in otavalo on the rio Napo
It appears as though you have found the Garden of Eden. And perfect bg music!
It did feel like that!
Omg! IMHO this is your best video that I have seen. You have truly made me want to visit this town. Just awesome! Thank you!
Que belleza es Mindo😍😍😍
Those hummingbirds are huge!
hummingbirds crazy amazing!!
That was a crazy experience!
Oh you guys, another marvelous video. Maybe this one is my favorite one yet. Amelia, love your sunglasses. 😍
Wow. Love the hummingbirds! They visit my backyard in Florida all the time during the summer. But nothing like this. If I go to Ecuador I have to visit this place.
I can't believe I actually got choked up watching all of the butterflies. This was so magical!
😊👍
Me parece increíble que sigan conociendo el Ecuador muchas felicidades a los dos. Les falta por lo menos dos sitios importantes que serían Galápagos y el oriente ecuatoriano
Ya estuvieron en Galápagos
Greetings Amelia And JP. From Texas. Beautiful Peaceful Video. Nature, GOD'S Creation, Is Amazing. I, Love Birds. The Birds, And Butterflies, So Beautiful.
Oh, thank You very much for this amazing video!,,❤
Aw! I love Hummingbirds. I used to live in Pacific Palisades, CA, and my exhusband and I chose plants for our backyard garden that would attract humingbirds. I loved watching them but boy would that buzzing sound scare me lol
Thank you Amelia and JP for all you do. My wife and I love your video’s. We hope to one day meet you in person. You inspire us!
Un paraíso lindo 👍🏼🇪🇨
Sí! Muy lindo! 🇪🇨
Hi 👋 from Montgomery, NY!
Thank YOU both for bringing us these videos. It’s just not providing information. You are creating such excitement for our family! This video brought tears of JOY. (Literally) Feeling grateful knowing we will be there in a couple of weeks. S&D🌺
Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Really nice video, the orchids and butterflies 🦋, amazing
Awesome, thank you😮
It sounded like the pizza and coffee were Gringo pricing for such a small town in the mountains. Beautiful pictures of the birds and gardens. Thanks 😊
It’s an internationally famous tourist town and the prices reflect that. I’m guessing locals pay less for everything.
Literally a beautiful documentary!
Wow! What an incredibly magical trip to Mindo! The hummingbirds...so many varieties of them! The butterfly garden was amazing and just loved it! Thank you Amelia and JP for this trip! I typically watch all your videos and do not post, but always give the 👍🏻 Love watching your videos always! I would love to live in Ecuador!
Another amazing place to put on our ‘must visit’ list! Thank you!
Wow! Amazing! Beautiful birds.
I enjoyed this video very much, the hummingbirds and butterflies are amazing, but you two make it even better. You love life and love each other.
Gracias! 😊
What an amazing discovery this place is! Absolute child-like wonder captured on this magical journey! Great work! Blessings to you both!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🇪🇨
You are doing some incredible videos. Extremely beautiful. Thanks. Mark
Glad you like them!
Your rather nicely filmed view of this specific venue kind of rivals similar ones in the 'principality of eco-tourism - Costa Rica'. Very professional. Well done! Love it!
