Mindo Eco Suite, River and Waterfalls

A solar-powered cabin at the foot of the cloud forest, 2.5 kilometres from Mindo village on a 6,000-square-metre plot with a natural pool three metres from the door and a waterfall further into the grounds. The host has been renting here for eleven years and this suite has nearly two hundred reviews at 4.89. It sleeps four with one bedroom and two beds, and it is the practical choice for a couple or small family who want the river and the birds without an expensive lodge. The village is a twenty-minute walk. The same host runs a larger three-bedroom eco chalet next door that sleeps eight, listed separately on Airbnb, for groups.
