Save money and reduce stress—let us take care of your transportation needs!
Although it is possible to rent a car in Quito and drive yourself, we recommend leaving the driving to us. Most find driving in Ecuador stressful. Our drivers are safe, reliable, professional, and a valuable part of our team. Once you arrive in Mindo a car won’t be necessary. Our town is very walkable and you’ll enjoy getting to know the area by doing as the locals do. Whenever we can, we walk! When a car is needed, private taxis are quite affordable and support the local economy in a significant way.Please note: the UIO Mariscal Sucre Quito airport is located a significant distance from the center of Quito. When requesting pick up or drop off to a Quito hotel, please be aware of the difference between airport-centric locations and those located in the city itself.
