Our guided hike will be along an ancient Inca trail where we will see Lake LLaviucu, the ruins of an abandoned German brewery, and meadows where wild horses and alpacas graze.

I had a great day in beautiful nature! I can highly recommend this tour with Marc and Marian from Explore Cajas, they are super nice and they know some nice spots normally no one else is going to. The hike (for me) was easy, not too long and almost flat most of the time.
Had a great personalized experience. Marian and Mark we’re excellent with lots of knowledge about the park.
I was fortunate in that I was the only guest on the day we trekked and Marc was my host. The hike delivered on all that was promised and more. Marc is very personable and knowledgeable. He is also willing to admit it when he doesn't know the answer to one's questions, which is refreshing. We hiked on a misty day, saw alpacas, mustangs, and other critters as well as spectacular vistas.
Marc is an amiable and experienced guide who made the hike interesting and informative. I was not disappointed in any way.
Scott, thank you very much for the nice review. I enjoyed hiking with you and learning about your life experiences. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!
This was a great trip and way to spend the day, with good views and history of the valley. Very convenient and interesting
Marc and Marian were great. This was am amazing hike in the Cajas. I feel like o really experienced it, not just a drive by to take pictures. Highly recommended.
Amazong personal service. speaks both English and Spanish. The whole group had a blast and would do it all over again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Marc! We had been wanting to hike Cajas National Park and we were not disappointed. Marc is knowledgeable, kind and a pleasure to spend the day with. We saw beautiful flora and fauna; llamas, alpacas and wild horses. The sceneries are absolutely gorgeous with serene lake, flowing streams and rivers, towering mountains and lush cloud forest. If you are thinking to hike Cajas National Park, please give Marc a call. You will not be disappointed!
My husband & I booked a tour with 2 other couples for our first time hiking in the Cajas with Marc & Marian and had a fantastic time! They were knowledgeable & fun sharing experiences with us as well as going out of their way to show us a rare tree indigenous to Ecuador that we would have missed otherwise. Also appreciated their attention throughout the hike to our individual hiking abilities making sure we were always comfortable with the distance & feeling good along the way. We enjoyed seeing so many amazing views of the lake, waterfalls, alpacas & horses & will definitely be booking with them again in the future!!
