We spent a lovely day in the nature of the Cajas National Park. We had a local guide, Juan, who educated us with his knowledge of the birds, plants and history. We walked a two mile path around the Llaviucu Lake.
We then drove to Tres Cruces, which is the point on the highway of the Continental Divide. The three crosses were erected to remember those that died attempting their trek over the Andes.
We are standing at 13,760 feet above sea level. The views of the lakes and terrain were beautiful.
We finished our outing at Dos Chorreras, a beautiful restaurant and lodge.
