El Cajas National Park
Only 45 minutes from Cuenca, Cajas National Park is one of the highlights while you visiting the southern area in Ecuador.
It is a Natural paradise if you like photography, hiking and birdwatching. In our hike we will show you endemic plants, birds and breath-taking landscapes all around La Toreadora Lake, located at 11,000 ft. above sea level.
If time and weather conditions permit, we will also stop at Tres Cruces viewpoint (one of the highest points at 12,200 ft. for magical views around the park).
At the end of the hike you will enjoy a delicious cup of Chocolate and a traditional potatoes soup, before we head back to Cuenca City.
