Can anyone tell me more about Cuenca? I have read a lot about living in Quito, but not heard much about Cuenca.
Thanks! |

Cuenca is a beautiful city! I have not lived there, but traveled there a few years ago. One of it's main industries is flower exportation!
In Cuenca, it's easy to forget you live in the 21st century. The city's cobblestone streets, towering cathedrals, and marble and whitewashed buildings give it a colonial air unequaled in Ecuador.
Cuencanos, known for their traditional demeanor and conservative cultural values, match their 18th century surroundings and continue a proud intellectual tradition that has produced more notable writers, poets, artists, and philosophers than anywhere else in Ecuador.
Enjoy your trip! |
