This place is not widely advertised and thus much less crowded (thankfully) which allows the natural beauty and tranquility of the area to shine! It is private property and Juan is exceptionally friendly and full of information. My wife and I spent a weekend in Mindo and this was by far the most captivating and memorable experience during our visit!

Great place to kill a little time, the butterflies are especially active when it's warm and sunny. Really cool to see the pupas and new butterflies emerging!

Beautiful surroundings. Be advised the times to each waterfall are not super accurate. 50 minutes (each way) means a minimum of 2 hours walking round trip.

Nightly tour of the gardens by flash light. Frogs, toads, spiders, fireflies and more!
Reviewed By robinn477
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Frog Concert in Mindo. We just happened to be the only guests on the night we visited, and so we got all the attention. We were served a small glass of red wine and heard the most melodious concert of frogs "ribbeting" that we have ever heard. Included was a nighttime walk through the forest around the hostal and we saw all sorts and varieties of frogs and spiders. The guide could identify each of them--it was amazing.

Beautiful butterflies and nice informative tour as well. It's not a real big area but there are several little seating areas to relax and let the butterflies come to you. The orchids and other plants on the way in to the butterfly house are very interesting to see also. Definitely worth a stop while visiting Mindo!
