Resplan
Cajas nationalpark ligger en kort 40-minuters bilresa från Cuenca. Det har vunnit internationell framträdande plats i flera kategorier såsom: Wetland of International Importance av RAMSAR och Biosphere Reserve av UNESCO 2013. Vi besöker först den delande inre vattenvägen och sedan börjar vi en måttlig 2 ½ timmes vandring (beroende på gruppens tempo) i höglandet genom myrmarkens ekosystem av våtmarker och sjöar. Vår naturguide kommer att upptäcka en del av den endemiska floran och förklara några av de viktigaste fakta om områdets geologi, historia och kultur. Sedan kommer vi till den unika skogen av polylepisträd, som anses vara några av de högst växande träden i världen. Innan vi återvänder till Cuenca äter vi lunch på en traditionell restaurang i området. Specialiteten är öring!
Sedan fortsätter vi vår tur med en 1 ½ timmes mjuk vandring i Llaviuco-området, beläget i den nedre delen av parken genom ekosystemet i den primära bergsskogen, även känd som "Cloud Forest". Detta är ett utmärkt tillfälle att acklimatisera sig medan vår naturguide visar dig några av de viktigaste aspekterna av den lokala floran och faunan.

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.
