Cajas Review - I had a great time exploring Cajas. The views of the surrounding mountains and lagoons are insane. Moisés was the best guide ever. He explained everything in detail in the park and answered all of my questions about Ecuador. 10/10 recommend touring with him if possible.

A must tour/hike!!! - This was a breathtaking tour, it’s a must!!! We were picked up from our hotel by Jose our driver and Eddie our tour guide. Friendly and very informative on the ride and the actual tour. I myself had leg injuries and not as fast as my family, Eddie was patient, kind and never made me feel like my injuries were an issue. He is also a wealth of information and shares so much. The beauty you get to take in on your hike leaves you breathless!!! Thank you Eddie and Jose

Great tour - Diego was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Las Cajas park. He picked me up at the hotel on time and took me to La Toreadora lake. We did a short hike and explained in very good English the geology and natural features along the way. Highly recommended!

Amazing Cajas National Park Tour - If you are in Cuenca, I highly recommend this half day tour to the Cajas National Park. You will be picked up at your hotel and brought back after the hike. Cristian (our guide) was amazing and really knowledgeable. He is very passionate about the flora and fauna and knows all the facts about his hometown Cuenca.
