Tour d'observation des oiseaux dans le parc national de Cajas de Cuenca

This trip was a lot of fun and I saw tons of new birds. Edison is a top bird guide and he really knows his stuff. He is very friendly and will add more than just birding into the trip. If you visit Cuenca and want to find birds look him up, you won’t be disappointed!

I had the pleasure of visiting the Andes Mountains with the renowned birdwatching expert, tour guide Ed, in Cuenca. Ed provided me with binoculars, which proved invaluable in spotting several Andean bird species. We embarked on a journey across different areas, diligently searching for various bird species. Ed also had a bird calling device that effectively attracted the birds to our location. Despite this being my first time with an expert birdwatcher, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

We had a great day! Edison is a fantastic guide! He has a lot of knowledge of birds and knows how to find the right places.

We went on a birding tour of El Cajas with Edison Juca from Polylepsis Tours. I can’t recommend him enough. He knew exactly where to go to find the top birds for the area, great eyes and ears, and a real enthusiasm for what he was doing. My non birdwatching wife also enjoyed herself. A very nicely paced day.

Of the best tour I've ever had. He knows the area and the birds well. In one day you can observe many of the endemic and special birds of the area.

It was a rainy day in Cajas NP but Eddy’s expertise made the day amazing. He can hear and see the birds quickly and ensures you see them too. Eddy shared information about the park, the bird list and fantastic photos. Pictures don’t do the park justice, you have to see the beauty yourself.

Eddy is a great guide! Very helpful getting onto the bird and very friendly. He came prepared with food and drinks if needed and he is very flexible! Saw more than expected and had a great time while doing so!

Great trip to the Cajas. Seen many species. Highly recommend.

When you get up before dawn on a cold and soggy Saturday, you can only hope that a day trip to El Cajas National Park goes as planned. We could not have done better by booking with Edison Juca & Polylepis Tours as our guide. With decades of personal knowledge, Edison (Eddy) knew every spot in Caja National Park as a bird guide and naturalist. He also had the education/training to back up his field experience. So, yes, under lousy conditions (rain, fog and chilly cold) we saw nearly 3 dozen species, including target birds -- plus we heard the noisy Turquoise Jay. Cajas's weather is notoriously unpredictable, but Eddy anticipated an incoming downpour in time to find us shelter so that we could continue birding. We expect that any booking with Polylepis Tours would be equally successful.

Edison is a very experienced bird guide and also a nice person! He took me on a tour of Cajas National Park to see Andean birds including endemics. He knows just where to look, including side roads and private properties. At the end we had a delicious grilled trout lunch by a warm fire. Dress in layers, it is cold at high elevations and rain is possible.
