    Diego was great and had lots of interesting facts about medicinal plants, the history of Cuenca as well as local life. The tour was well paced and the fish option at the restaurant was delicious.

    In mid-February my wife and I had a great hike and tour in Cajas National Park with Diego, our tour guide and hike leader. We had great weather, so we were able to get in a solid 3 hour hike through various terrain types and around many lakes. Diego adjusted our hike to challenge us and to make us earn, through solid cardio, a great lunch. The landscape was incredible and Diego's explanation of the flora, fauna and geology of the park made for a real education. The natural beauty of the park, the excellent guidance of Diego and a feeling of cardio accomplishment made for a great day.

  • Lovely Day in Cajas

    Moises was an excellent guide. He picked me up directly from my Airbnb. He had a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna of the places we went to. He was very personable and friendly and I was glad to have someone who knew what they were doing.

  • Very interesting guide!!

    Eddie was very knowledgeable and it was very enriching to learn so much through the tour. If I had to do this again we would rather do it on our own in order to spend more time in the trails. Cajas is easily accessible by bus from Cuenca and there is no entrance fees, as for all national parks in Ecuador. The price of the tour was just too high to justify the expense given our budget and personal interest considering going on our own would have been way less expensive and that we could have enjoyed the nature and trails even longer.

  • Highly recommend
