A beautiful morning experiencing nature -- don't miss this experience! Happy to have seen Cajas National Park, as it's definitely a must-see while in Cuenca. We had a private tour with a superb guide who was very informative, patient & easy-going -- and my 84 year old mother was able to walk with us (at her pace) as the trails are quite easy in the lower Cajas. Highly recommended, a highlight of our trip to be sure : )

The landscape and the knowledge of the Guide are valuable. It is close to Cuenca, about 30 km away. It's for nature lovers.
Prepare for the cold, wind and difficult climbs.

The private tour with Edison from Polylepis has been a delight. The Cajas National Park tour gives you great insights on flora and fauna, which need to be seen up close. Edison is very knowledgeable and always in good spirits. So far I have had only positive experiences in lovely Ecuador. I highly recommend Ecuador and especially a tour with Polylepis when in Cuenca, which is a delightful town.
