Cajas National Park is fascinating - Edison was a great guide / very knowledgeable & spoke very good English. A day trip not to be missed if you’re in Cuenca. I would recommend this hike to anyone coming to Ecuado.

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.
