Adrián took my husband and I to Cajas National Park and we had a great time. He knew a lot about the park and had many things to share.
He was very patient with me and assisted me over some rocks and mud more than once.
I would definitely recommend this company and especially Adrian if you wish to go anywhere.
Thanks again Adrian!

What a wonderful tour! Sebastian was amazing! He knows all about Las Cajas - history, geography, birds, flowers, and animals. He was on time and worked with us to give us the best possible experience. I would take a tour with him again anytime. He also was very knowledgeable about other areas in Ecuador and very helpful and made good suggestions for us.
