Information about Cuenca
Why Cuenca? After Quito, Cuenca is Ecuador’s most important and beautiful colonial city. Some might even say it is, thanks to their laid-back culture, cleaner streets and more agreeable weather. Cuenca is arts-oriented and both writers and poets have flourished here for centuries. Cafes and galleries are tucked away in the narrow cobblestone streets. The main plaza hosts both the old cathedral and the blue-domed Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, dating back to 1885.
