On this private full-day excursion, you will leave the warmth of the coast behind to enter Cajas National Park, a highland sanctuary suspended above 4,000 metres, where more than two hundred glacial lagoons mirror a sky that changes mood by the hour. You will walk among centuries-old Polylepis forests \u2014 the highest-growing tree on the planet, its russet bark peeling in papery layers shaped by the wind \u2014 and follow trails that wind through volcanic rock, cushions of p\u00e1ramo grass, and mist that arrives and withdraws like a tide. This is a landscape that belongs to condors, to high-altitude hummingbirds, and to those seeking the absolute silence of the sierra. As the day draws to a close, body light from the thin, pure air and mind unhurried, you will return to Guayaquil, leaving behind \u2014 for one day \u2014 the city to rediscover the true scale of the Andes.<\/em><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b6ede09 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no\" data-id=\"b6ede09\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9da2aca\" data-id=\"9da2aca\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54b71d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"54b71d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n    \/* Poppins import *\/\r\n    @import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;600;700&display=swap');\r\n\r\n    .tfj-itinerary-container {\r\n        font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;\r\n        max-width: 900px;\r\n        margin: 20px auto;\r\n        color: #333;\r\n        line-height: 1.7;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    \/* Intro *\/\r\n    .tfj-intro {\r\n        font-size: 15px; \r\n        margin-bottom: 30px;\r\n        color: #4a4a4a;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    \/* Control bar *\/\r\n    .tfj-itinerary-header {\r\n        display: flex;\r\n        justify-content: space-between;\r\n        align-items: center;\r\n        border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\r\n        padding-bottom: 15px;\r\n        margin-bottom: 10px;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-itinerary-header h2 {\r\n        font-size: 17px; \r\n        font-weight: 700;\r\n        margin: 0;\r\n        color: #707479; \r\n    }\r\n\r\n    #tfj-toggle-btn-cajas-en {\r\n        background-color: transparent;\r\n        border: 1px solid #707479;\r\n        color: #707479;\r\n        padding: 5px 12px;\r\n        border-radius: 50px;\r\n        font-size: 11px;\r\n        font-weight: 600;\r\n        cursor: pointer;\r\n        text-transform: uppercase;\r\n        transition: all 0.3s ease;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    #tfj-toggle-btn-cajas-en:hover { background-color: #707479; color: #fff; }\r\n\r\n    \/* Step items *\/\r\n    .tfj-step { border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0; }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-details summary {\r\n        list-style: none;\r\n        display: flex;\r\n        justify-content: space-between;\r\n        align-items: center;\r\n        padding: 18px 10px;\r\n        cursor: pointer;\r\n        font-weight: 600;\r\n        font-size: 17px; \r\n        color: #707479; \r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-details summary::-webkit-details-marker { display: none; }\r\n\r\n    \/* Arrow icon (Font Awesome) *\/\r\n    .tfj-details summary::after {\r\n        content: '\\f107'; \r\n        font-family: \"Font Awesome 5 Free\";\r\n        font-weight: 900;\r\n        font-size: 14px;\r\n        transition: transform 0.3s ease;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-details[open] summary::after { transform: rotate(180deg); }\r\n\r\n    \/* General inner content *\/\r\n    .tfj-content-inner {\r\n        padding: 5px 15px 25px 15px;\r\n        font-size: 15px; \r\n        color: #555;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    \/* \"Why choose this tour?\" tab styles *\/\r\n    .tfj-why-wrapper {\r\n        padding: 10px 0;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-benefit-item {\r\n        margin-bottom: 20px;\r\n        display: grid;\r\n        grid-template-columns: 30px 1fr;\r\n        gap: 15px;\r\n        align-items: flex-start;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-icon-box {\r\n        font-size: 20px;\r\n        line-height: 1;\r\n        display: flex;\r\n        justify-content: center;\r\n        padding-top: 2px;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-benefit-text-group {\r\n        display: flex;\r\n        flex-direction: column;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-benefit-item strong {\r\n        color: #1a1a1a;\r\n        font-size: 16px;\r\n        margin-bottom: 2px;\r\n        display: block;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    .tfj-benefit-desc {\r\n        font-size: 15px;\r\n        color: #555;\r\n    }\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"tfj-itinerary-container\">\r\n    <div class=\"tfj-intro\">\r\n        <p><strong>Altitude and Silence: P\u00e1ramo, Glacial Lagoons and Polylepis Forests<\/strong><\/p>\r\n        <p>Book this tour and step down into the true scale of the Ecuadorian Andes.

Along the way, the landscape transforms with every kilometre: we leave the dry tropical forest behind, cross the cloud forest, and finally enter the p\u00e1ramo, the high-altitude ecosystem that crowns the Ecuadorian Andes. Your guide will introduce you to the geological and ecological story of this remarkable transition. \ud83d\ude97\u26f0\ufe0f<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"tfj-step\">\r\n        <details class=\"tfj-details\">\r\n            <summary>2.

It is the highest-growing forest in the world, a relict ecosystem of great scientific value. Along this moderately challenging route, we will observe the endemic vegetation of the p\u00e1ramo and, with some luck, the Ecuadorian hillstar hummingbird and, overhead, the Andean condor. \ud83e\udd7e\ud83c\udf32<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"tfj-step\">\r\n        <details class=\"tfj-details\">\r\n            <summary>4.
