The condominium's backyard is the trail to "Lake Llaviucu", one of the biggest lakes of the National Park and among the best birding locations in all Ecuador. Known for its incredible hiking paths through evergreen cloud forests and for its hundreds of lakes and lagoons, "El Cajas" National Park is home to rich wildlife including Andean condors, giant hummingbirds, llamas, wild horses, coatis and deer.
Trout fishing, bird watching, exploring Incan ruins, biking, and just relaxing are part of what you can expect when you live in one of the most unspoiled mountain retreats in the world.
'This condominium" was permitted just prior to the entire area being designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 2013. This means that future development in this area is highly restricted, if not impossible.
