Amazing Trip to Las Cajas! - Our tour with Sebastian to Las Cajas National Park was amazing. The views were breathtaking, and Sebastian’s knowledge of the history and current situation affecting the park and region provided really valuable context to understand what we were seeing. We really enjoyed the hike and appreciated his insights into all of the plants and animals in the park. It was a fabulous tour with a really talented guide. 100% recommend.

Great hiking in Toreadora and Laguna Llaviucu, both hikes scenic, with wonderful views over the surrounding mountains. - As a solo traveller, having Willson as my guide I felt safe & comfy. He has a lot of knowledge about the plants and ecosystems and is easy to get on with. Also Javier from Cuenca Bestours office was very helpful with the itinerary tailored to my needs. Highly recommended.

Great day in Cajas National Park - My friend and I went today on the four-hour hike (half-day tour) in the park. Fortunately the day was clear, sunny, a bit windy, and with beautiful views. Eddy, a marvelous guide, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the plants, fauna, history, and the geography. The National Park, about a 45-minute drive from Cuenca, is a beautiful, very large protected area with many lakes and vegetation. We felt our hike was adequate to see the majority of the diversity. The hike was moderately easy, but due to the elevation, I needed some time to acclimate. I highly recommend this tour for all nature lovers.

Must see in Cuenca - Maria was an excellent tour guide and I learned so much from her about Cajas NP… Having grown up in the Smoky Mountains National Park I certainly appreciate the need to preserve and protect natural resources anywhere in the world. The majesty and beauty in Cajas NP is just breathtaking
