Excursion to Cajas National Park

Cajas is a national park located on the northwestern side of the city of Cuenca; it's formed by wetland from glacial origins with more than 200 lakes. Our visit will start on the lower part of the park called Llaviuco, only 30 minutes away from the city of Cuenca. We will hike at an easy rate for one hour at an altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level (9,842ft). We will continue our hike until we get to a point called tres cruces which forms the Continental Divide between the Pacific and the Atlantic ocean at an altitude of 4,135m (13,566ft), we will have a short walk to observe this interesting area, then we will descend and will perform our main hike at an altitude of 3,900m (12,795ft) for approximately three hours. The difficulty at this point is moderate. On the trail we will visit a beautiful primary forest and will observe the interesting vegetation. Return to Cuenca. *We reserve our rights in changing the order of the tours or suspending due to weather conditions or by order from Cajas National Park. *Entrance to the National Park is not included.
