Cajas National Park Half Day Tour from Cuenca

Half day in Cajas with Adrian
We had an amazing day with Adrian! Our favorite day in Cuenca so far. We loved hiking around the lagoon at Cajas, which was beautiful, and seeing the view at the top. The company made it easy to reserve and get picked up, and Adrian was an incredible tour guide! He taught us so much about Cajas and Ecuador. He was kind, funny, and very passionate when teaching us about the beauty of Ecuador. We would absolutely recommend this company and Adrian!

Excellent private Cajas tour
Cristian picked us up at our place, and the 40-minute drive to the park was filled with history about Cuenca and Cajas. He chose just the right hiking route so we got the most out of the tour. His knowledge of the park, the vegetation, and even the birds was extensive — pointing out species and calling hummingbirds with their specific sounds. He speaks fluent English. Highly recommend the tour company and Cristian.

Yamil and Mattias showed the best hospitality while proving a tour of this city. They gave us the best map of the old and the new Guayaquil within a 3 hour time frame which I know was difficult. I would definitely recommend booking with them.

Guayaquil day tour
Yamil was a great guide and offered top-notch service for us here in Guayaquil!! He punctually met and picked us up at our hotel where we then proceeded to go on a historical tour around the area followed by some of the best views and sights the city has to offer, all while explaining the history and significance/relevance of it all. Towards the end of the trip we went to a local shop and learned all about Cocoa and the different varieties as well as got to see how it’s processed from start to finish, and finally we capped the tour with a ceviche masterclass and some homemade hot chocolate he so kindly made with us at his home followed by an amazing local dish his wife prepared to enjoy with us. Definitely an amazing experience that won’t be forgotten!

Good excursion near Quito
Daniel did a great job and guide and driver, giving us an insight into Ecuador's history and culture, in addition to the sites we saw. We first saw Pululahua Crater from the observation area. We had a good amount of time at the Intiñan Museum, where there was an on-site English guide taking us through the cultural exhibits and fun Equator demonstrations. Then the nearby Mitad del Mundo, where he climbed the historic monument built where they used to think the Equator was.

We had a group of 3 and our guide was Sebastian. What an amazing opportunity to learn and hike in Cajas! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable not just about the national park but about Ecuador as a whole. He answered our questions throughly and created the best experience our group could have hoped for. The private transportation feature was A++. Highly recommend!
