Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Cajas National Park ligger en kort 40-minutters kørsel fra Cuenca. Det har vundet international fremtræden i flere kategorier såsom: Vådområde af international betydning af RAMSAR og Biosfærereservat af UNESCO i 2013. Vi besøger først den delende indre vandvej, og derefter starter vi en moderat 2 ½ times vandretur (afhængigt af gruppens tempo) i højlandet gennem hedeøkosystemet af vådområder og søer. Vores naturalistiske guide vil opdage noget af den endemiske flora og forklare nogle af de vigtigste fakta om områdets geologi, historie og kultur. Så kommer vi til den unikke skov af polylepis træer, som regnes for nogle af de højest voksende træer i verden. Inden vi vender tilbage til Cuenca, spiser vi frokost på en traditionel restaurant i området. Specialiteten er ørred!
Derefter fortsætter vi vores tur med en 1½ times blød vandretur i Llaviuco-området, der ligger i den nederste del af parken gennem økosystemet i den primære bjergskov, også kendt som "Cloud Forest". Dette er en fantastisk mulighed for at akklimatisere sig, mens vores naturguide viser dig nogle af de vigtigste aspekter af den lokale flora og fauna.

It is a unique experience. Our guide, Xavier, is a man with great knowledge of the Park and unmatched kindness. His explanations and teachings were very valuable to us. He took his time during the walk and was always attentive to us, asking how we felt and making pauses during the tour. We learned about the vegetation and wildlife of the Park because Xavier explained everything to us in detail. Very beautiful tour!
Fabulous walk in El Cajas national park with an excellent guide, Diego. He was very knowledgeable and patient as the altitude slowed me down on some of the steep uphills. Please note that the tour was not as advertised, as the laguna Llavuicu has been closed since 2024 & the tour itinerary has not been updated. The longer walk in El Cajas was an excellent alternative. Lunch was delicious.
Awesome experience, Andres was an amazing guide with a lot of care and love for what he does.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had an awesome experience and that Andres made your tour so special. His passion, care, and love for what he does truly shine through, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with him. 😊🌟 Team Cuenca Bestours
I've seen a lot of nature parks and protected areas in Ecuador and across the Americas and can say this is truly one worth visiting. Xavier was our guide and did an excellent job of responding and adapting to collecive interests and abilities. He knows a lot about flora and fauna, making the experience truly excellent. There were so many trail options, and he did a great job describing them so we could decide the pace and difículty we were willing to go to see as much as possible. If you have never hiked in Paramo before, be prepared for cold humidity and wet shoes.
We’re truly honored to hear that, after visiting so many nature parks and protected areas across the Americas, you consider this one especially worth visiting. 🌿✨ We’re delighted that Xavier helped make your experience memorable with his flexibility, knowledge of the flora and fauna, and attention to the group’s interests and hiking abilities. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed exploring the different trail options and finding the perfect balance of pace and adventure. Thank you as well for sharing that helpful tip for future travelers.🥾🌧️🌱
It has been a long time since our tour with Javier Vallejo, I hadn’t really taken the time to write the review, but it has been one of the best because not to say that the best tour guide we have had. It should be clarified that we love to travel and have been to quite a few countries. So without a doubt with him you will find a noble man, charismatic, experienced, knowledgeable of the whole area and if history and above all wonderful photographer. We were fascinated by your service. My husband and I were fascinated with the complete tour and experience he gave us. Thank you so much.
¡Muchísimas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir una reseña tan especial, incluso después de tanto tiempo! Nos llena de alegría saber que su experiencia con Javier Vallejo fue tan memorable. Sus palabras describen perfectamente su esencia: un guía apasionado, conocedor y siempre atento a cada detalle, además de ese talento especial para la fotografía que hace que cada recuerdo perdure aún más. Para nosotros es un verdadero honor saber que, entre tantos viajes y destinos, esta experiencia haya sido una de las mejores. Gracias por confiar en nosotros. Equipo de Cuenca Bestours
Three of us went with Diego for a trip from Cuenca to Parque national Cajas. DIego was fantastic and taught it is so much about the ecosystem and the park walk. I highly recommend this trip once you have acclimated to the high altitude in Cuenca.

Diego was an outstanding guide, full of botanical and historical knowledge. He is friendly and fluent in English. Cajas was absolutely gorgeous, and we look forward to hiking there more when we move here. The trout lunch was perfect after a 3-hr-hike at 13,000 ft elevation. We highly recommend this tour.
