Cuenca tours

Perched at 2550m above sea level, Cuenca is recognised as one of South America's prettiest colonial cities. A serious rival to Quito for its beauty and grandeur, this Ecuadorian jewel is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about the city's history, and get to know its modern-day face on a private Cuenca tour with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. Start your day with a walk along the shores of the Rio Tomebamba. Attractive colonial buildings rise above the grassy riverside, and on the river's banks you can still find women drying clothes in the sun, despite the nearby hustle and bustle of the city. Your guide will show you around the city's many impressive churches and cathedrals, such as the massive Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción, which presides over the city's main plaza, the Parque Calderón. Your guide will also be happy to help you try the local cuisine, with suggestions for the best places to eat and drink. Enjoy your flexible, private Cuenca tour!
