Cuenca, Cajas National Park & Ingapirca

Mar 09, 2016
Little travelled, a bit off the beaten path, but Cuenca is a must with visiting Ecuador. Wander the streets checking out wonderful colonial buildings, hike the high mountain valleys of Cajas National Park, and explore the ancient ruins of Ingapirca.

One of the few Incan ruins in Ecuador built around the pre-Inca people, the Canari, its a beautiful place to spend the day.

Adventure Life helped me achieve my bucket lists on this trip. With the help of Claudia and Ghezzel, I was able to enjoy my trip without a hitch. All the hotels were good, the tours that were arranged were fantastic, all the flights were on time. I had an amazing time and would recommend Adventure Life without hesitation.

Claudia Corona, the travel agent, was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. She always made it a point to return my call and to answer my many questions. She made my decision to use Adventure Life for my trip to South America quite easy.
