    Excelente lugar para recorrer sus senderos en familia o con amigos, paisajes de páramos con pajonales, jalcas, almohadillas, bosques de polilepis y demás especies vegetales endémicas que rodean la laguna "La Toreadora". Espacio de parking reducido para fines de semana por alta afluencia, se debe dejar en la vía, área de servicios higiénicos y centro de información y guía para grupos de turistas. Vale la pena visitarlo y sobre todo cuidar el entorno, no dejar desechos, ni destruir la naturaleza.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice place, beautiful lagoons ... When you get to an information point you register, and they tell you the routes you can take to walk. The income does not cost however if you want to stay to sleep you must pay $ 2. Route 1, you can do it in 3 to 4 hours of walking; passing through several lagoons, rivers, streams and a beautiful polilepis forest. (Original) Muy lindo lugar, hermosas lagunas... Al llegar a punto de información te registras, y te indican las rutas que puedes hacer de caminata. El ingreso no cuesta sin embargo si te quieres quedar a dormir debes pagar 2$. La ruta 1, puedes hacerla en 3 a 4 horas de caminata; pasando por varias lagunas, ríos, riachuelos y un hermoso bosque de polilepis.

  • 5/5 fidelcup 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice hike! Recommended to go in the morning. Busses depart the Terminal Terrestre at 6:15, 7, 8:30, 10:20 AM. Cost is $2.50 per person as of Aug 2022, took just over an hour. To get to the bus departure platform, you must insert a 0.10 cent coin, per person, to pass through the metal turn style gate. Register at the park office and show your passport or a photo copy. No proof of vaccination was needed. Washrooms available. Hike is easy-to-moderate level. On the way back, wait for a bus going in the direction of Cuenca and flag it down. Cost was $3 per person.

  • 5/5 Virginia B. 1 year ago on Google
    The park is beautiful. Keep in mind that if you have problems with altitud, the trails can be more than moderate. Some of the trails are lost and people walk their own trails affecting fragile ecosystems, like Lycopodiums.

  • 5/5 Ruben D. 1 year ago on Google
    Un lugar maravilloso. La caminata puedes realizarla sin parar o quedarte en algún lugar para realizar un picnic o simplemente meditar. Hay un restaurante con algunos servicios. Pero la caminata es espectacular. Puedes encontrar diversidad de plantas en n la ruta al igual que muchas aves. El ingreso fue gratuito y solo nos registramos. Un buen lugar para visitar

    (Translated by Google) The most beautiful lagoon I have ever visited, with its landscapes that leave you speechless and don't make you want to leave, not even because of the cold.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful spectacle, constitutes this lagoon, formed by the slopes of a rugged, wild and typical moorland environment, with blizzards that penetrate the bones and low temperatures both day and night!
