It has gained international prominence in several categories such: Wetland of International Importance by RAMSAR and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2013. We will visit the dividing inland waterway first and then we will start a moderate 2 ½ hour hike (Depending on the pace of the group) in the highlands through the moorland ecosystem of wetlands and lakes. Our naturalist guide will spot some of the endemic flora, and explain some of the main facts of the geology, history, and culture of the area. Then we will get to the unique forest of polylepis trees, which are considered some of the highest growing trees in the world. Before returning to Cuenca, we will have lunch at a traditional restaurant in the area. The specialty is trout!

Our guide, Moises, was fantastic. We ended up having only three of us on the tour. We were picked up at the hotel and went first to Lake Llaviuco where we had an easy walk around the lake. Moises was a fount of knowledge about the history and plant and animal life. After a requested stop for coffee and chocolate at the Molina Express cafe, we went to the upper entrance for a long hike at 13,000 feet. Moises explained the very different plant life (different from the lower part of the park) and the history of the park and the region. It was some of the best eight hours of our trip.

Alles Tiptop Sehr schöne Wanderung und super Guide. Auch das Essen am Ende lohnt sich sehr. Bei schlechtem Wetter ist die Tour relativ anspruchsvoll, also gute Ausrüstung mitnehmen!

Had a great day hiking in a group at Cajas national park, notwithstanding the freezing cold and driving rain! Amazing views, it was invigorating, but I'd recommend doing it on a day when you can return to your hotel and have a hot shower, unlike what I did, having to catch a flight that evening still in the same damp clothes. (Or bring a change of clothes with you on the tour). Our guide was terrific - very friendly and helpful.
