Cuenca (Ecuador) - National Park of Cajas - photos 2






National Park of Cajas 30 km from Cuenca:

- Please let me know how many of you thought that the first photo was taken in Scotland or in the North Yorkshire Moors? Well that what we thought when we saw the landscape!! And specially the lagoon "Toreadore". Typical flora made of moss and also very boggy! Lee was wearing open sandal and that was not REALLY the kind of shoes to wear. If you have seen the face of the guard parks when they saw his shoes!!!! Amusing!
- Here you say "well somethings wrong, that can't be in Scotland, they don't have llamas!!" yep so welcome to the Andes in Ecuador!!!
- Lots of parts of the trail were very muddy and we were using the roots of the tree to avoid to be all over covered by mud!! Lots of fun to find the best way...,
- Lee is taking the same picture than you can see on the right. In front, it is Margot a French girl who was following the same trail than us. The marking of the trail was like usual: nothing when it is difficult to find the way and easy when you had the path in front to you!!! I think we were both happy to have done the 5hrs trail together, we could have been lost by now!!
- This is my picture!! Superb reflection of the of the mountains and the clouds on the lagoons...Lee has got the same picture but mine is better!! lee says " vas chier Manu"
