A short cable-car ride up from Mindo into cloud forest canopy — prime for sweeping aerials, layered mist, birds and waterfalls. Photograph the rolling rainforest, ridgelines and sunbeams breaking through clouds. Best at sunrise and early morning for low mist, soft light and active birdlife; golden hour toward late afternoon yields warm backlight. Accessible via paid ticket at the Mariposario/teleférico station with basic parking; gondolas are safe and quick, no special permits. Expect eco-tourim
