We had a great private tour of Cajas with Wilson. I recommend him. We had a great hike of the park and detailed information about flora and fauna was provided.

Cuenca BesTours made it very easy to experience the Cajas National Park half-day tour. Our excellent guide, Wilson, met me at the front door of the building I was staying at. This door to door pickup/drop off service from Cuenca to the park and back saved me the round trip cab faire I was expecting to pay.
Wilson shared his extensive knowledge about Cajas’ geology, hydrology, human history, plant and animal life, including invasive species inadvertently introduced to the park’s environment decades ago.
From the moment I signed up, Cuenca BesTours provided good communication about the tour’s itinerary.

Great tour, Diego our guide was a wealth of knowledge not just about the ecosystem of the hike but the history of the area and the geology.
