Wow! How do we put into words one of the most amazing days of our lives? Let’s just say we give Marian and this Cajas tour 5 gigantic stars. Marian was amazing and her pace was perfect for us. What we appreciated is that she didn’t reveal the secrets of what was to come before we saw it for ourselves. The unexpected beauty and surprises around each corner literally made our jaws drop several times on this trip! We began as she took us through an unassuming little trail in the Cajas park. Quickly it opened up to a lush paradisiac valley filled with fluffy white alpaca and llamas! It was absolutely straight from a National Geographic film! We took pictures for evidence of what we saw, surely no one would believe it’s real! We almost felt like we were visiting a photoshopped version of reality. Seriously it was just that gorgeous. We continued on another trail which opened up to a field of wild horses grazing near a small brook! What!? The day just continued to get better and better! As we ate our lunches by the stream, our entertainment was watching these wild horses run by and admire a beautiful mare nursing her small foal. This day was one of our most memorable ever! Marian is incredible and this day trip is definitely one NOT to miss.Marian is a gem! Meaning, hard to find but precious. Her attention to detail was refreshing. Appreciated how we took our time & made sure everyone could benefit from the tour. Very relaxing! You can tell she loves the outdoors but doesn’t get lost in what she appreciates.
