The Eco-Chalet has an area of 90m², on a 6000 m² plot of land, also housing the box of a horse. The cottage consists of 3 modular bedrooms (single, double or quadruple), 2 bathrooms with hot water, a full equipped american kitchen with fridge, freezer, oven, stove, .... and includes all utensils, a living room and a terrace. In the garden you will also find a river that borders the cottage and a natural pool in where you can bathe. The property includes free Wi-Fi access. Thanks to its solar panels and its large bay windows to keep the heat of the sun, the Eco-Chalet fits perfectly in its quiet and idyllic environment. Your pets are welcome. You will be cut off from the world, amidst lush nature, among more than 300 species of birds as well as dozens species of butterflies that you can observe from your terrace or in the garden. Within a 15-minute walk you will find a first series of magnificent waterfalls almost private where you can bath.
You will be in the middle of nature, in the midst of some 2000 species of plants and 450 species of birds that populate the 19,000 hectares of Mindo's tropical cloud forest. As an option, you can take advantage of many services: shopping, laundry, local guide, as well as many activities: night excursion to observe animals, visit a butterfly and hummingbird farm, visit a chocolate factory, horse riding, tree climbing, tubbing (down the river in a buoy), massages, yoga, 4x4 at your disposal and many others. In supplement (per person): - Breakfast (USD 7) consists of local and artisan products: organic chocolate or coffee, tropical fruits, granola, special mozzarella, jam, milk, yogurt, eggs. - Dinner (USD 15) of your choice: Venezuelan arepas, pizza or shrimp burger - Combo breakfast and dinner USD 20 - Transfer Quito - Mindo - Quito from USD 60 - Transfer Los Bancos - Mindo or to the cabin USD 5 - River descent in tubbing from USD 7 - Round trip zip lines USD 10 - Canopy from USD 10 - Bird watching tour from USD 15 - Visit to the largest Bravo waterfall from USD 8
I am Dominique Olivares owner of the Eco-chalets. 1) It is important to note that the chalet uses solar panels for electricity so turn off the lights when you leave a room. As such, high watt electronics such as hair dryers, clothes irons, curling irons, blenders, electric coffee makers, microwaves, etc., are strictly prohibited because of their potential to fry our battery supply. The guest is able to charge low watt items such as cell phones, computers, and other small, electronic gadgets without issue. 2) Smoking is not permitted indoors. 3) Shoes are not permitted indoors. Due to situation, shoes must be left outside in the space reserved for this use. 4) Do not leave the gate behind the cottage open to prevent the horse from escaping. 5) Do not ride the horse or feed it (or on request - optional).
