Located in the highlands of Ecuador, the city of Cuenca was founded in 1577; it is the third-largest city of Ecuador, and it has a lot to offer to its guests.
Cuenca is one of Ecuador’s most charming places to visit, with a rich history and magnificent natural surroundings.
I had the opportunity to visit Cuenca at least once a year while growing up. I visited my grandparents, who lived in downtown Cuenca, an area that is a remarkable example of a planned inland Spanish town named a UNESCO world heritage site. I will always remember strolling through its charming streets, visiting well-known and new places in the area with the family, and attending a classical music concert or mass at the New Cathedral with grandpa.
