Papallacta Hot Springs - don't waste your time, very boring and small
Otavalo Market - great idea, and I hate shopping! Was very cool
Mindo cloud forest - I didn't go there as I thought it sounded boring
Half day Quito city tour- depends what the itinerary is...
Again, I'd highly recommend taking the tram up from the city to the mountains and spending 1/2 a day or full day there. It was unbelievable.
