Arguably the highlight of my Ecuador trip, Cajas National Park has attracted many travelers from Ecuador and around the world. With an altitude of up to 4450 meters above sea level, the weather in Cajas is oftentimes cold, windy, and damp, but a trip to the Cajas National Park offers beautiful highland scenery and the opportunity to see endemic plants and species.
Cajas National Park is a world heritage site and has 786 water concentration sites. With 2.75 lakes per kilometer square, El Cajas has the highest concentration of lakes in the world. The park has over fifty hiking trails, which makes for a wonderful day trip or multiple day treks catered to people of all ages and physical abilities.
