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](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6132883/ea0af2c3-3ed0-4725-bc46-3aa89de0b3e6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![I love the mountains, but exploring the rainforests in Ecuador was just as beautiful.
