Fishing in Cajas National Park - 1 (1)West of Cuenca lies El Cajas National Park.  Reaching a maximum height of 14,599 feet this national park is on of the highest in Ecuador.  There are several local ponds to fish at as you make your way up the steep canyon road.   The summit is a mere 13,671 feet.  There is a small turn out just before you reach the summit which is worth stopping at to test your lung power.

My favorite place is "El Cajas Vizcochos" located just over the summit headed down the other side of the Andes towards the coast.  From the top it is approximately 5 minutes down the road give or take a few.  I was so distracted by the beauty and majesty of these high mountains time was irrelevant.

On this side of the Andes, the clouds rush up from the coast and swirl and push each other around acting out some sort of natural ballet or symphony.

Make sure you go on a day that looks sunny in the mountains and go in the morning.  There are few sunny days in Cajas each month usually end with rain.

Helpful people who help keep an eye out for things like hurricanes, and were quick to respond to emails. They spent a good amount of time with me to help pick a great spot for my honeymoon and put together some great options for different budgets.

My first time traveling outside the US, and these guys made it easy.

I have used Velocity Travel several times for international trips. Trent and Dave have always gone out of their way to find me not only the best price but also the most comfortable flight. They are knowledgeable, kind, patient and easy to work with. I highly recommend Velocity Travel!

We tacked on a trip to the Galapagos Islands after spending 5 weeks in Cuenca, Ecuador. Trent went the extra mile to prepare a personalized itinerary that met our budget, allowed us to see a number of the iconic locations the Galapagos are famous for and still have downtime to just enjoy the surroundings. His knowledge of the islands and the things to do there helped us make good use of our time. Thanks for a great trip.
