Itinerary
It is one of the highlights of Cajas National Park, located in the province of Azuay, Ecuador. It offers a unique experience for nature lovers.
Laguna Toreadora is one of the largest and most prominent lagoons in the park, located at an altitude of approximately 3,900 meters above sea level. This glacial lagoon is surrounded by a mountainous moorland landscape that offers spectacular views and a reassuring experience in nature, plus we pass the Interpretation Center, which presents a variety of interactive exhibits including models, information panels and digital screens. These exhibits cover topics such as park geography, the water cycle and wildlife in this ecosystem.
The place is of great natural beauty, considered as the Garden of the Blessed Virgin, called its “bit of Heaven”. It is worth the visit, even if you are not a Catholic or believer in these events. If they wish, pilgrims can bring empty bottles to collect water from the spring next to the shrine (it is considered holy water with spiritual properties).
Hosteria Dos Chorreras offers a unique experience of accommodation in a natural environment, with facilities designed to provide comfort while maintaining the connection with the beauty of the Andean landscape. The name "Dos Chorreras" refers to the two waterfalls found nearby, which add a special touch to the environment. In the same way you can taste the local cuisine and visit the chocolate shop where you will find a variety of desserts made with national cocoa.
