Andres is the most knowledgeable tour guide we have had; he made Cajas national park really interesting by pointing out unique plants and birds, and providing cultural and historic information.

We only had one day in Cuenca, and our guide, Wilson packed it in for us. He was also a walking botanical encyclopedia! We did a mini tour of Cuenca before heading to Caja. Moderate hike in lower Caja around a lake and then a shorter hike at a higher elevation. Both were great! Lunch was at a nice restaurant, where most of us had trout!

Iur tour guide, Wilson, was probably the best guide we’ve ever had. His knowledge of the local fauna and flora was mind blowing! The hike was gorgeous although a bit challenging due to rainy season muddiness and slippery in areas. The lunch afterwards was delicious and the restaurant even accommodated my vegetarian diet. It was a terrific.experience.

Randonnée avec un guide local très sympathique du parc national de Cajas, au milieu d’une mer de nuages. Le beau temps n’était malheureusement pas de la partie, et en outre il faisait plutôt frisquet !

Jaime有丰富的植物知识，一路给我讲解各种有 的植物。并不断鼓励我们继续前行，最终看 了类似指环王场景中的原始paper tree。 前往Cajas国家公园途中，Jaime还耐心解答了我 各种问题，介绍了昆卡这个城市，令我们对 个陌生的城市有了一个了解。 非常感谢Jaime！

Javier was an excellent tour guide from start to finish. On-time pickup, safe driving, super friendly, flexible, helpful and knowledgeable. He took a beautiful timelapse video of us and the incredible view. My group of friends and I had a beautiful adventure in Cajas Natl Park and learned so much. Highly recommended, especially with Javier!

Javier is a true gem. He guided our private group of four through several of the most beautiful spots in Cajas National Park, all the while reading our pace to determine the rhythm and length of our hike. It was a perfect match for what we wanted. He's also extremely knowledgable about the history and biology of the area, without ever overloading you with info. He's a safe driver and a delightful lunch companion. Very highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Javier was very knowledgable and he made our trip through the park the highlight of our vacation. He pointed out things that we would missed. Lunch at the end was at a terrific restaurant, Cabanas Del Pescador, where we had a delicious trout meal with all the fixings. Thanks Javier!
