My suggestion

Be careful, you aren't in Cuenca any more! At 4,000 metres above sea level it is much colder and you could well have altitude head aches...Don't rush, save your energy and take plenty of water before you start walking.

A magnificent park situated a few kilometres from Cuenca, notable for its many lakes.

My suggestion

You can go there alone with no problem: public bus (south terminal) and marked trails. However, I believe that a guide is obligatory for groups of more than 4 people.

The Sierra is the Andean region of Ecuador that's crossed by the Pan-American Highway. The other regions are Selva, home to the Amazon Rainforest and the Costa, which borders the Pacific Coast. Often called the 'Volcano Route', it boasts a dozen volcanoes, including the highest and most active in the world. And we're off to a giddy 3,000m altitude...
