A welcoming secluded cloud forest stay
So quiet and dark at night and the hotel section is separate from the property owner's home and bird viewing area, yet close. Balcon Tumpiki is a known birder stop near Mindo with hummingbird feeders and a banana pole to attract various tanagers, toucans, and others, but miles from any town. It also has forest trails on the property that you can take that begin right outside your door. I saw many endemics there and hiked trails daily. They are well-marked; muddy. Glad I had mud boot covers and hiking poles. I imagine chiggers are an issue, however I treated my clothes ahead of time and had no problem with insects. This area is high up in the cloud forest. In winter it rains Daily and sometimes 20 hrs a day and it has cool temps probably in the 50s. Most of the time there is a soft mist. The sun rarely came out. The humidity can be hard on your phone and laptop; both of which I had issues with while there. Electrical outlets were USA friendly. Loved having the balcony outside my room. Room was ample size; bedding warm; shower not hot enough for me; no heaters. The owners, Ronald and Maria, became family to me. Maria is an excellent cook and made me delicious breakfasts daily with a variety of items. I only ate one dinner ($10) (I'm a light eater at night) and it was a massive amount of food. Small empanadas as an appetizer; then the main course where the chicken was tender; the mushroom sauce delicious; buttered rice; and three kinds of vegetables plus papas fritas and dessert. Yum! Ronald and Maria took me several places of interest - and added birding stops for my pleasure as lower elevation cloud forest has different birds than here. If birding is your main draw, this is a wonderful place to stay. I noticed that most birders that come, only visit the feeders for a few hours. To me, the forest is where it's at and where you find species out in their environment. If you come to Balcon Tumpiki, you will be well taken care of.

Mucha tranquilidad y muchos aves.
1. Hay mucha naturaleza, se puede ver varias especies de aves y algunos animales con facilidad.
2. Hospitalidad y atención del dueño fue excelente.
3. La comida del hotel fue muy deliciosa.
4. Como está un poco lejos del pueblo, hay mucha privacidad y traquilidad.
aparte del servicio de hospedaje y alimentación, uno puede organizar tours para varios lugares de Mindo y su alrededor con ellos.

Nuevamente, gran estadía con muchas aves.
Ya estuve alojado el año pasado. El lugar es muy bello, ideal para observadores de aves. El señor Ronal Machuca y su esposa se desviven por atender a sus huéspedes. El desayuno muy rico.
El camino sigue siendo un poco tortuoso.

Wer den Nebelwald und die Vögel sehen will, ist hier richtig
Das ist ein magischer Ort im Nebelwald. Wir haben sooooo viele Vögel gesehen und beobachten können. Man ist hier nicht in einem klassischen Hotel. Man hat ein gutes und sauberes Zimmer mit Blick in den Nebelwald. Bestes Essen!!! Mit Liebe gemacht und unglaublich lecker! Wir vermissen dieses Ort. Kommunikation über WhatsApp ist perfekt. Die Strasse braucht euch nicht abschrecken.

Jolie réserve avec plusieurs chemins.
Chambre n°1 avec balcon surplombant la forêt, literie propre et confortable. Logement simple mais d'un très bon rapport qualité prix.
Beaucoup d'oiseaux, une très bonne installation de nourrissage et beaucoup d'abreuvoirs à colibris.
Pas de bruits extérieurs, un esprit familial avec des gens charmants, très bonne cuisine saine et petit déjeuner copieux.
Très bon réseau wifi.
