If you can get Eddy as your tour guide, you are already having, in our opinion, the best tour guide in Cuenca.
The National Park is amazing. So much history, beautiful scenery and a knowledgeable tour guide added so much to this trip. Being Canadians, we were surprised and impressed that the trout in the lake were brought in from Canada.
