Description

Cuenca is one of the most beautiful cities in the country and is made up of four rivers that run through it, charming colonial streets and architecture, churches and cathedrals, ruins that reveal the passage of the Incas, and cultural, art and handicraft centers.

The third-largest city and the economic center of the southern sierras, has long been known for a rich intellectual, artistic, and philosophical tradition that matches its colonial architecture. The city is famous for its colorful festivals, distinct food, and breathtaking scenery.

Considered the artistic mecca of southern Ecuador. Artisans produce fine leather goods, custom-made guitars, filigree jewelry, ceramics, and an array of other high-quality products. And of course, the famous Panama hats (which originated in Ecuador, not Panama).
