If you measure a city on size or population alone, Cuenca ranks third in Ecuador. If you consider charm, beauty and the opinion of all Ecuadorians, however, Cuenca leaps into first place. It is a lost colonial jewel, a neat, orderly city set in the picturesque rolling hills of southern Ecuador.

I loved almost everything about Cuenca. I felt safe there (as long as I followed common sense and didn't wander around alone at night) and found many restaurants that I loved. It's just a beautiful city, with many things to do for fun (shopping at markets, visiting nearby historical or natural sites, going to museums, etc) and many nice people!
I loved this hotel!! Very authentic. It had 2 court yards, the main courtyard had dinning in the middle. Centrally located to markets, churches, museums.
I love Cuenca. I have been going there since 1995 and am going again this summer. Great place all around. The people are nice and it is breath takingly beautiful from the spanish colonial architecture and cobblestone streets to the montains that emerge as the back drop. There is no place I love more.
Cuenca is an incredible destination. It is a serene place in an awe inspiring geographical location. Any person who enjoys friendly people, traveling, and has a genuine interest in the outdoors will absolutely love Cuenca.
Every visitor to Ecuador should check out Cuenca. It's beautiful and fun.
