National park El Cajas
Nationalpark El cajas: This is a wonderful and really big national park (29000Ha) with over 230 lagunas. The highest peek here is about 4500m (14750f) high. Famous for its biodiversity. You can see alot of different birds (like hummingbirds) and alot of other animals (like scorpions;-). Also really interesting plants such as polylepis trees (so called paper tree because of its papery bark). In the lagunas are thousands of trouts. Our guide went fishing and we had delicious trouts barbecued over the open fire! We also slept there in a tent, it was freezing! We organised the tour in a travel agency in Cuenca. The national park is just an hour south of Cuenca. Don't go by yourself! They told us that some tourists froze to death and others were attacked by some masked and armed men/youngsters... (but you also don't have to believe everything)
