Cajas Parque Nationale - Cuenca

Today we hiked in the beautiful National Park of Cajas northwest of Cuenca. We met two Americans, Alex and Matias, actually, Matias originally from Argentina and we had a great time. We started our hike at about 3700m and hiked up along sometimes not very clearly marked trails to 4000m. In the process we got lost a couple of times... but the scenery was soo breathtaking that it didn't bother us too much.

After the hike we enjoyed a "Heissi Schoggi" and took the bus back to Cuenca. We cooked dinner at the Hostal with another Swiss couple and Matias. What wonderful people you meet when you travel. I am sure many lasting friendships with come from these short but intense encounters.
