Enjoy a guided hike of a remote valley with a beautiful lake, towering cliffs, varieties of flowers and trees, wild horses and alpacas, a meandering river and distant waterfalls. Your trip will include light hiking, plenty of stops for rest, views, photography, even meditation (if you wish), and breaks for snacks. We are happy to take personal or group photos for our guests, too!
The guide sexually harassed me and continuously touched me and I felt very uncomfortable. It ruined my whole experience. He told me to get in the front seat and started running my leg. The guide’s name is Moisés.
I had a great day in beautiful nature! I can highly recommend this tour with Marc and Marian from Explore Cajas, they are super nice and they know some nice spots normally no one else is going to. The hike (for me) was easy, not too long and almost flat most of the time.
Had a great personalized experience. Marian and Mark we’re excellent with lots of knowledge about the park.
I was fortunate in that I was the only guest on the day we trekked and Marc was my host. The hike delivered on all that was promised and more. Marc is very personable and knowledgeable. He is also willing to admit it when he doesn't know the answer to one's questions, which is refreshing. We hiked on a misty day, saw alpacas, mustangs, and other critters as well as spectacular vistas.
Marc is an amiable and experienced guide who made the hike interesting and informative. I was not disappointed in any way.
This was a great trip and way to spend the day, with good views and history of the valley. Very convenient and interesting
Marc and Marian were great. This was am amazing hike in the Cajas. I feel like o really experienced it, not just a drive by to take pictures. Highly recommended.
Amazong personal service. speaks both English and Spanish. The whole group had a blast and would do it all over again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Marc! We had been wanting to hike Cajas National Park and we were not disappointed. Marc is knowledgeable, kind and a pleasure to spend the day with. We saw beautiful flora and fauna; llamas, alpacas and wild horses. The sceneries are absolutely gorgeous with serene lake, flowing streams and rivers, towering mountains and lush cloud forest. If you are thinking to hike Cajas National Park, please give Marc a call. You will not be disappointed!
My husband & I booked a tour with 2 other couples for our first time hiking in the Cajas with Marc & Marian and had a fantastic time! They were knowledgeable & fun sharing experiences with us as well as going out of their way to show us a rare tree indigenous to Ecuador that we would have missed otherwise. Also appreciated their attention throughout the hike to our individual hiking abilities making sure we were always comfortable with the distance & feeling good along the way. We enjoyed seeing so many amazing views of the lake, waterfalls, alpacas & horses & will definitely be booking with them again in the future!!
I had a fantastic time with Marc and Marion. They were enthusiastic and easy-going guides and had all-around great vibes. I can't imagine a better pair to have guided me through such a breath-taking location. The mountain vistas from the valley are out of this world. We saw wild alpacas and ate lunch with a band of curious wild horses in a meadow, and we spotted a pair of turquoise jays in the cloud forest region. I would suggest bringing some waterproof boots as a few parts of the trail can get muddy. Overall this was a wonderful and unforgettable adventure. I hope some day I can return and take their other tours too!
Absolutely amazing! The best experience I've had in the Cajas was with Explore Cajas. Marc was the best guide, took me to see the horses and alpacas and the ancient Inca trail. Had such a wonderful time. I Recommend this experience a 100%!
I had hiked the Cajas National Park several times before October of 2019; but it had always been the same, usual spots and well-known trails that everyone frequents. How refreshing it was when you (Marc) took me and the friends on the trails I never knew existed - the dew-covered valleys and the mist-soaked mountains, the fast-flowing creeks and the ice-cold lagoons - the sights were breathtaking to say the least. We saw horses running wild, llamas that looked like alpacas and the other way round! The fresh, cool air was so invigorating and sent shivers down my spine! Thank you Marc for the “great trail-less-traveled experience”!
Wir hatten eine supertolle Wanderung mit Marian, abseits der bekannten Routen. Wir fühlten uns super-wohl mit ihr und würden sofort wieder mit ihr eine Tour machen. Wärmstens empfohlen!
Muy hermosa experiencia, Marc and Marian son excelentes guías. Aman su trabajo y aman las montañas. El lugar es espectacular !
