Over the Thanksgiving weekend, we revisited Mindo, a small town in the beautiful cloud forest of the Western Andes. We stayed at El Descanso where we were able to relax and enjoy some bird watching from the decks of the lodge.

We did some different hikes this time, including the Yellow House Trails and a guided night hike. We saw some interesting organisms on the night hike: tree frogs, spiders, different types of insects, and an owl. It was a little creepy walking through the cloud forest in the dark!
