Cajas National Park Hiking Activity

We will pick you up at 6:30 am from your hotel in Guayaquil and depart for Cajas National Park in the Andes Mountains. Upon arrival, we will begin our 4-hour hiking activity.

Our route will take us along the García Moreno trail to observe the divided waters, with some flowing towards the Amazon and others to the Pacific Ocean. Legend states that many hikers have attempted to overnight here but did not survive the cold nights.

We will ascend to an altitude of over 6,560 feet (2,000 meters) while enjoying the misty forests, moorlands, and visiting the Chorro de Plata Waterfall, which has nearly 300 feet (90 meters) of cascading water. Additionally, we will discuss various medicinal plants and their healing properties.

During our hike, we may see ferns, orchids, mosses, and possibly wildlife such as caracaras, hummingbirds, toucans, and the Andean condor. After walking around 6 miles (10 kilometers), we will return to the starting point.

We will then head back to your hotel in Guayaquil, where we will drop you off at 2:30 pm.
