Visit our beautiful new photo gallery to see what you might see at El Monte!

In effort to facilitate Cloud Forest research El Monte Sustainable Lodge has founded and administrates the Mindo Biological Station (MBS). The bio station is located in pristine cloud forest encompassing elevations ranging from 1,400 meters to 2,600 meters.

With accomodations for groups up to 22, the MBS welcomes researchers, student groups and ecologically focused tourists.

The station itself protects 6,500 hectares of land within the 19,200 hectare Mindo-Nambillo Protected Forest and it is our hope that with more research into the ecology of this unique ecosystem we will be able to further promote conservation in the area.

For research investigation or arranging visits to MBS please contact us as mindo@ecnet.ec..
