This was a great outing. Marc and Marian are so knowledgeable and experienced that I could relax and enjoy myself. I learned a great deal about the ecosystem of the part I was in. Lots of small details that only experts can share. This was my first trip to the Cajas and will book them again when I want to go. Good stories, kind people and a fantastic day. Thank you for the wonderful memory.

We 1000% recommend this tour! Marc and Marian are incredible guides! They were extremely knowledgeable about the park and its history. They were quick to show us the best spots for pictures and went at our group’s pace. Be sure to bring warm clothes, the hike can get cold. But the views are stunning! Please choose this tour (and be sure to stop at the Hosteria Guagrahuma restaurant after the hike).

Wow! How do we put into words one of the most amazing days of our lives? Let’s just say we give Marian and this Cajas tour 5 gigantic stars. Marian was amazing and her pace was perfect for us. What we appreciated is that she didn’t reveal the secrets of what was to come before we saw it for ourselves. The unexpected beauty and surprises around each corner literally made our jaws drop several times on this trip! We began as she took us through an unassuming little trail in the Cajas park. Quickly it opened up to a lush paradisiac valley filled with fluffy white alpaca and llamas! It was absolutely straight from a National Geographic film! We took pictures for evidence of what we saw, surely no one would believe it’s real! We almost felt like we were visiting a photoshopped version of reality. Seriously it was just that gorgeous. We continued on another trail which opened up to a field of wild horses grazing near a small brook! What!? The day just continued to get better and better! As we ate our lunches by the stream, our entertainment was watching these wild horses run by and admire a beautiful mare nursing her small foal. This day was one of our most memorable ever! Marian is incredible and this day trip is definitely one NOT to miss.

This was an excellent tour. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique experience. We were picked up and taken on the hike which was completely remote from any other tours. We didn’t see a single person other than our small group the entire time. 100% recommend for folks looking for a private experience.

Marian is a gem! Meaning, hard to find but precious. Her attention to detail was refreshing. Appreciated how we took our time & made sure everyone could benefit from the tour. Very relaxing! You can tell she loves the outdoors but doesn’t get lost in what she appreciates. She made sure everyone was involved & benefited. Looking Forward to coming back to see more! Thank you!

We toured Cajas with Marc for our anniversary and had a great time. The scenery is simply amazing. Marc is an experienced guide who really knows the area and the trails well.

Going on this hike has been an unique, breathtaking once in a lifetime experience. The views are stunning and on this hike I got to see the biggest lake in the national park: “Luspa” what a marvelous sight. We also saw waterfalls and wild terrain. Absolutely no one else was doing this trek, so it is like a well kept secret! Would love to do this one again!
