The cloud forest is defined by its elevation. The clouds start their lofty ascent in the coast and are pushed up the mountain. As they experience colder temperatures, water condenses and they lose their moisture as rain which supports an abundance of life.

Day 3
The cloud forest may be even more diverse than the Amazon - however it's not very well studied. Each mountain and each elevation acts as its own biological island spurring rapid speciation. In Mindo alone there are

Mindo and other areas of Ecuador that are biodiverse but not as recognized as the Amazon rely on communities to protect the rain forest. Private entities and community members buy the land to protect it from logging, farming, and mining. Your ecotourism directly contributes to the protection of this amazing place.
