An absolutely incredible tour! - Wow! How do we put into words one of the most amazing days of our lives? Let’s just say we give Marian and this Cajas tour 5 gigantic stars. Marian was amazing and her pace was perfect for us. What we appreciated is that she didn’t reveal the secrets of what was to come before we saw it for ourselves. The unexpected beauty and surprises around each corner literally made our jaws drop several times on this trip! We began as she took us through an unassuming little trail in the Cajas park. Quickly it opened up to a lush paradisiac valley filled with fluffy white alpaca and llamas! It was absolutely straight from a National Geographic film! We took pictures for evidence of what we saw, surely no one would believe it’s real! We almost felt like we were visiting a photoshopped version of reality. Seriously it was just that gorgeous. We continued on another trail which opened up to a field of wild horses grazing near a small brook! What!? The day just continued to get better and better! As we ate our lunches by the stream, our entertainment was watching these wild horses run by and admire a beautiful mare nursing her small foal. This day was one of our most memorable ever! Marian is incredible and this day trip is definitely one NOT to miss.

Excellent day trip hike! - This was an excellent tour. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique experience. We were picked up and taken on the hike which was completely remote from any other tours. We didn’t see a single person other than our small group the entire time. 100% recommend for folks looking for a private experience.

Personal Interest - Marian is a gem! Meaning, hard to find but precious. Her attention to detail was refreshing. Appreciated how we took our time & made sure everyone could benefit from the tour. Very relaxing! You can tell she loves the outdoors but doesn’t get lost in what she appreciates. She made sure everyone was involved & benefited. Looking Forward to coming back to see more! Thank you!

This is gotta be my favorite Cajas experience! - Going on this hike has been an unique, breathtaking once in a lifetime experience. The views are stunning and on this hike I got to see the biggest lake in the national park: “Luspa” what a marvelous sight. We also saw waterfalls and wild terrain. Absolutely no one else was doing this trek, so it is like a well kept secret! Would love to do this one again!

Five star tour! Booking more now - This tour was by far one THE BEST Cajas experience we have ever done, and we have done many. Marc and his team were so friendly and helpful it was like we had an instant family. We took incredible pictures and videos of the pristine Cajas, lamas, lakes and rivers. We got expert guidance on the way as we were taught about the local flora, fauna and environment. The pre-trip list of supplies was super helpful so we had all we needed. We were so pleased with Marc and his team we send all our visitors to book with them, and will personally be back to book more.
