Cajas National Park is situated 30k from Cuenca and most of the 228 sq km of parkland is between an altitude of 4000 and 4500m. It never snows there, but it can be pretty cold and the bleak, moor-like landscape reflects the colder climate. There are more than 200 lakes in the park and it is a beautiful location for hiking, trout fishing and rough camping.
We visited for just a day to hike and take photos, and on our way back stopped at a trout farm where the adjacent restaurant owner kindly lit a fire whilst we waited for him to catch the fish for our supper.
