The elevation of 4000 meters isn't easy to acclimate to ,but you get to see gorgeous views like this so it's a pretty fair trade off !!! El cajas is a hikers dream!!

I barely explored 10% of the park in a day but even in a day morning and evening can be a different experience depending on the kind of weather.After a lot of reading that it's better to reach the park early as it gets rainy in the afternoon,I reached there at 11 but it was gloomy and the afternoon was bright and sunny 😀
Enroute to Cajas National Park from Guayaquil!! We stopped at a random spot for 10mins and kept gaping at the clouds!! I strongly suggest taking a taxi or private tour from Guayaquil to Cajas for the breath taking views through the way!! Lot of buses go this route but you can't stop at some spectacular locales and break into a jig 😀 #weekendgetaway
The weather changes so quickly here in El cajas park .But no matter the weather it's breathtaking.. Lagunas, the clouds and the mountains.. bundle up in a jacket and a warm hat.#weekendgetaway
