5.00We spent a wonderful day with Moises. Whether in the park or in the city he was able to give us a lot of information and answer our questions. It was a rewarding day for eyes and culture.

5.00Diego is very experienced driver and Tour guide, he is very knowledgeable about Cajas, Cuenca and all Ecuador, he explains everything with details, he also makes sure you are feeling comfortable in a high altitude like Cajas. The tour includes Lunch, in a very good restaurant and friendly staff. I’m already recommending this tour to family and friends, as we were very pleased and happy with Diego’s attention to all the things we wanted to visit.
Excellent tour!

5.00My partner and I were delighted with the private tour. The tour pick us up at the hotel at 8:20 am very punctual, we go to Cajas National Park where we arrive in an hour depending on traffic. On the way the guide and driver (Wilson) tells us a little about the history of the city of Cuenca and what to expect from the Cajas park. We arrive at the park and begin the walk through the beautiful forest where you can admire the flora and fauna. The route through the park is extraordinary, do not forget a warm coat as the climate changes according to the height you are in, as the weather varies. After the park we return to Cuenca and it takes about one hour. The guide shows you the city by foot. You can admire the Neo Gothic architecture of the Cathedral and French / Spanish style houses of the city. Lots of culture, good food and weather. Try el “hornado” in the Mercado 10 de Agosto. I would repeat it.
