Cajas National Park

by namastedc

Send Photo to a Friend

On the Road in between Cuenca and Guayaquil, just outside the city limits of Cuenca, is the Cajas National Park.

This park is known for its lakes - hundreds of them - and its harsh terrain.

There are several hiking trails throughout the park, and it is possible to camp in the park. A two day trip is all that is required to go all the way across - just be sure to bring your maps!!!

There are many tour operators in Cuenca that will suit you up with gear, drop you off at the drop off location, guide you, and pick ypu up at the pick up location.

Just be prepared for the cold nights!!!

calcaf38 Wed Sep 12, 2007 00:27 UTC Hi Damon, to satisfy your morbid curiosity, I started my Cuenca page with the warnings! Oh, and I saw the fog on the way to Guayaquil, really crazy fog in the evening. It took us 5 hours to do the trip. Take care amigo --	barryg23 Tue Sep 19, 2006 19:31 UTC Very helful tips, thanks. I wouldn't fancy driving through that fog.
Maillekeukeul Thu May 12, 2005 10:52 UTC That's definitely the place where I want to stay... Still, I'm a bit surprised by the prices you've mentionned... Isn't it cheaper or have you mentionned the price per week ???
