Itinerario
Da Cuenca, guideremo attraverso le famose montagne delle Ande fino al rifugio Toreadora, situato nel Parco Nazionale di Cajas. Questo parco è una delle aree protette più importanti nel sud dell'Ecuador e il principale fornitore di acqua di Cuenca. Rimarrai stupito dallo splendido scenario che si trova in questa zona. Avremo l'opportunità di fare un'escursione (facoltativa) per esplorare gli ecosistemi della Polylepis Forest e Moorland con i suoi laghi. Quindi attraverseremo lo spartiacque continentale e continueremo il nostro viaggio verso le pianure facendo soste per goderci lo splendido scenario se il tempo lo permette.
Lungo la strada, ci fermeremo per il pranzo in questo ristorante molto locale dove la specialità è la trota, tuttavia ci sono diverse opzioni tra cui vegetariana e vegana. La nostra guida turistica ti consiglierà. Avrai anche la possibilità di goderti le misteriose viste sulle montagne delle Ande da questo punto.
Assapora la dolcezza naturale che fa parte della cucina e della vita quotidiana degli ecuadoriani. Questo mercato locale ricco di colori e frutti è una delle esperienze più interessanti in questa zona, con la nostra esperta guida turistica imparerai e assaggerai (se lo desideri) alcuni dei frutti dolci ed esotici locali coltivati qui. Se pensi di conoscere il gusto di banane, mandarini, cocco, frutto del drago, frutto della passione per citarne alcuni, preparati per il vero sapore di questi deliziosi frutti!
Mai assaggiato la polpa delle fave di cacao fresche? Visiteremo una fattoria familiare locale, il prodotto principale che cresce qui è il cacao (base per fare il cioccolato), tuttavia, hanno molti altri prodotti come l'albero del pane, il caffè, il frutto della passione, l'ananas, tra molti altri. Sarai in grado di sperimentare il processo di produzione del cioccolato artigianale e provarlo se lo desideri mentre la nostra guida turistica spiega la storia del cacao e anche le usanze locali. Dopo un viaggio di un'intera giornata, ti lasceremo a Guayaquil presso il tuo hotel, aeroporto o luogo di tua scelta.

Having guided transportation is a game changer, and we were so lucky this time around to have Luis be our driver and our guide! The ride was super comfortable and Luis made everything convenient and easy - guiding us through Cajas National Park, to an amazing, small cacao family operation, and finally a superb lunch. Will certainly use this company again and request his services again when we return to Ecuador. Highly recommend!
Amazing trip, very pleasant drive through bio diverse zones, beautiful vistas, opportunities to learn about local culture and customs; Wilson is a wonderful guide, very pleasant and eager to share his knowledge.

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
