What's nearby

  • The Mindo Cloud forest is a short drive from bustling Quito, but it feels like an entirely different world. One of the most popular things to do in Mindo is to hike. The hike to the Cascadas took us around 21/2 hours and was well worth it for the incredible views. Along the hike, we saw countless butterflies, hummingbirds, orchids, and incredible waterfalls. #LifeAtExpediaGroup

We had a magical stay at Casa Vista Alta. We stayed in the cabin, which is a bit of a distance from the lodge. I wouldn’t recommend it for folks that had mobility issues. However, the cabin was immersed in nature and conveyed a sense of serenity and Connection with the amazing jungle. The staff were kind the food delicious and I highly recommend this lodge.

This hotel is in a quiet part away from the center. Very helpful staff. Breakfast was very tasty. Great bird watching near the property. Cable car for the waterfall hike is less than a mile from the hotel as well. Butterfly garden is nearby too.

The pros for this property are endless! The property and surrounding area are breathtaking. The staff go above and beyond to ensure a happy stay. A breakfast of fruit, fresh juice, coffee, eggs, bread and jam using high quality, local ingredients. We felt safe in Mindo and the property is located in between the town and the excursions. We opted for dinner and a bird watching tour, i highly recommend both!

the casa is up a road away from the town so you have to get a taxi to anywhere except the tarabita to the waterfalls. The environment is lush and beautiful. The room of the cabin was spacious and clean and comfortable. The first night I stayed there was an accident which knocked out power to Mindo for most of the day, I think the water heater was electric and thus there was no hot water. The staff were very nice and helpful. I did not take meals at the casa so can’t comment on the food.

The most incredible hotel. The views are amazing. Humming birds and toucans all around the common area lobby. Walking distance to cable car and waterfalls hike. VERY peaceful setting. Breakfast was stellar. Freddy at checkin completely helpful and accommodating. Thank you for making our Mindo experience unforgettable.

We had a lovely stay at Casa de Vista Alta in Mindo. It's a gorgeous property in a stunning location, high up on a hill, surrounded by a bird-filled cloud forest. The views from the veranda (and balconies) are spectacular. The staff at the Casa were very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed hanging out with the Casa's dog, Kyova. We spent one night in a room in the main house and the other night in a cabin. Breakfast was very tasty. We also ate dinner once at the main house -- tasty trout on the spacious veranda. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning.

A Perfect Stay at Casa de Alta in Mindo!

As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay than Casa de Alta. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome—they were friendly, accommodating, and always ready to help. My room was cozy and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. And the breakfast? Absolutely amazing! Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—it was the best way to start my day. The morning view was just as incredible, with hummingbirds constantly fluttering around, making for a magical experience in the heart of the cloud forest. The peaceful atmosphere and warm hospitality made my stay truly special. If you’re looking for a relaxing, welcoming spot in Mindo, I highly recommend Casa de Alta. I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely. Owned and operated by a local family. The staff is very kind and helpful. The views of wildlife are exceptional. We were very comfortable. We didn’t want to leave! Note that the road to the hotel is not paved. The local drivers are used to it. If arriving from Quito, get out at the Mindo town square and take a taxi $4-5 to the hotel. People there seem honest and hardworking.

Definitely Recommend!

This is a FANTASTIC property. Located in the mountains, the villas are nestled in the moutains with either forest views or valley views. The staff was amazing. It is a 45 minute walk from Mindo, or a $4.00 taxi. Less that 2Km walk from the hotel is the cable car over the valley to additional hikes and waterfalls. The staff were wonderful, food and wine were excellent, and many, many, many birds. Our guide Esther was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It is a great place!

This property is in a nice location, nature's paradise, lots of trees and birds around, I was delighted to see toucans and hummingbirds everyday(stayed for 4 nights) it's safe and quiet, staff is good, breakfast is free and it's quite good, there are also decent lunch and dinner options if u don't want to to go to town. Taxi ride is $4 if u want to go to town and Esther who is the caretaker will call for a taxi for u. She is very helpful with answering ur questions. Overall it's a good place, my only suggestion would be to have screen doors/windows so u can leave glass door/window open for airflow and not have mosquitoes/insects come in.
