Itinéraire
De Cuenca, nous traverserons les célèbres montagnes des Andes jusqu'au refuge de Toreadora, situé dans le parc national de Cajas. Ce parc est l'une des zones protégées les plus importantes du sud de l'Équateur et le principal fournisseur d'eau de Cuenca. Vous serez émerveillé par la beauté des paysages de cette région. Nous aurons l'occasion de faire une randonnée (facultative) pour explorer les écosystèmes de la forêt de Polylepis et des landes avec ses lacs. Ensuite, nous traverserons la ligne de partage des eaux continentales et continuerons notre route vers les basses terres en faisant des arrêts pour profiter du magnifique paysage si le temps le permet.
Sur le chemin, nous nous arrêterons pour déjeuner dans ce restaurant très local où la spécialité est la truite, cependant, il existe plusieurs options dont végétarienne et végétalienne. Notre guide vous conseillera. Vous aurez également la chance de profiter de la vue mystérieuse des montagnes des Andes à partir de ce point.
Goûtez à la douceur naturelle qui fait partie de la cuisine et de la vie quotidienne des Équatoriens. Ce marché local en plein essor de couleurs et de fruits est l'une des expériences les plus intéressantes de cette région.Notre guide expérimenté apprendra et goûtera (si vous le souhaitez) certains des fruits sucrés et exotiques locaux cultivés ici. Si vous pensez connaître le goût des bananes, des mandarines, de la noix de coco, du fruit du dragon, du fruit de la passion pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns, préparez-vous à la vraie saveur de ces délicieux fruits!
Avez-vous déjà goûté la pulpe de fèves de cacao fraîches? Nous visiterons une ferme familiale locale, le principal produit qui pousse ici est le cacao (base pour faire du chocolat), cependant, ils ont de nombreux autres produits tels que les fruits à pain, le café, les fruits de la passion, l'ananas, entre autres. Vous pourrez découvrir le processus de fabrication artisanale du chocolat et l'essayer si vous le souhaitez pendant que notre guide vous explique l'histoire du cacao et les coutumes locales. Après une excursion d'une journée, nous vous déposerons à Guayaquil à votre hôtel, à l'aéroport ou à l'endroit de votre choix.

So it was overall a fun way to travel from Cuenca to Guayaquil, and do some sightseeing along the way. I will preface this by saying that I did this solo, so the cost of $190 was just for me and actively choose not to do the cacao farm, so I admit that my activities were consciously limited. My first guide, Xavier, was fantastic, incredibly knowledgable, and interesting. The drive up into the National Park was incredible, Xavier's knowledge of the fauna and flora was great and it was absolutely stunning. My issue really was that we then had to drive back down the way we came for 20 minutes to go have lunch, rather than continuing in the same direction. Lunch was fine, but the portion side was quite small. We were then waiting around for another 30 minutes, for a new driver to come, the drivers switched, and then we drove the other 20 minutes back into the National Park to where we started off from. It was basically just an hour and a half of wasted time, which could have been solved if there was one driver, who took you to a restaurant which was en route, rather than doubling back on yourself. Also my second driver spoke so loudly he was effectively shouting in my ear which made the journey somewhat unpleaseant. Overall, it's a cool thing to do, Cajas is beautiful and it's a fun way to travel between the two cities, but is it worth $190? I'm not sure.
Wilson was a great guide for our trip. He pointed out lots of interesting information. The coffee farm visit was really fun with a delicious lunch and the short hike at cajas was beautiful. We really liked Wilson’s commentary about nature. Highly recommend.

I did this experiment with Guia Pedro. It was excellent, since the trekking in the national park of Cajas, the passage by the family cocoa grower, it went very well! Upon arrival in Guayaquil was super attentive staying with us until the check in to be complete and giving us guidance on the q was safe and what was not...
Ficamos felizes em saber que o tour com o Pedro, desde o trekking no Parque Nacional Cajas até a visita à produtora de cacau, foi excelente. Ele ficará contente em saber que sua atenção e orientação durante toda a viagem fizeram a diferença. Esperamos recebê-los novamente para mais aventuras inesquecíveis! Team Cuenca Bestours

My husband and I had an amazing time traveling from Cuenca to Guayaquil, making unforgettable stops along the way at iconic places like Cajas National Park and a chocolate factory, where we learned all about how Ecuadorian chocolate is made. Our tour guide, Wilson, was fantastic! He speaks excellent English, has so much knowledge about the local animals and flowers, and was always making sure we were comfortable. He even helped capture special moments throughout the journey. Highly recommend this experience — it was a perfect mix of nature, culture, and fun!

Great way to get to Guayaquil from Cuenca. Visited Cajas Park, stopped off for lunch and visited a cacao farm. Wilson was a great guide, very knowledgeable and really patient with my Spanish

A very good and convenient tour if you need to get from Cuenca to Guayaquil but find a simple 3-hour drive too boring. Our guide, Genero, was amazing! He shared many fascinating facts about the plants in the national park and showed us the most beautiful viewpoints. We decided to skip the lunch stop (plus everything was closed due to Christmas) and pass on the coffee tour since we’d already been on one in Mindo. So, I can’t say much about that part of the tour. But the trip itself was very comfortable and safe. Even when we entered an area with such thick fog that you could barely see a car half a meter away, Genero drove very calmly and confidently. We enjoyed everything 😊
Dear Anastasia, Thank you so much for your amazing review. It was a pleasure having you. We're really glad to hear that you got to appreciate Genero and his natural knowledge. Also, we're happy that you felt safe and comfortable along the way, that's what we strive for. We hope to see you again in the future. Team Cuenca Bestours
