El Cajas National Park and Reserve is a starkly beautiful wilderness of valleys, lakes, highland vistas and rock formations. It consists of 29,000 hectares of páramo (a páramo is a grassy highland generally unfit for cultivation, the closest translation is probably "badlands") known for hiking and trout fishing.
To visit the park, you will first stop at the information building located at next to Totoras Lake. There, you will pay your entry fee ($10) and you'll be given a map of the park. There are several trails of interest, most of which are meduim in terms of difficulty level. Note that fog and rain are common in El Cajas National Park, so pack accordingly.
There are several tour operators in Cuenca who offer guided day tours to El Cajas National Park and Reserve.
