We were lucky enough to have a guided tour of Cajas National Park with Edison. Not only did we have a fantastic time seeing all the natural beauty Cajas had to offer, but Edison made our tour more enjoyable by sharing the history of the park. Edison was a fountain of knowledge when it came to Cajas, he taught us all about the parks flora & fauna. It is safe to say that we will be using this tour agency in the future.
