Cuenca Travel Overview
In Cuenca, Ecuador's third largest city, you can stroll the well-preserved colonial streets, trek through undulating countryside, and visit the nearby Incan ruins of Ingapirca (not worth visiting if you also plan to go to Machu Picchu in Peru). Not many tourists venture farther south, but those who do delight in exploring Azuay and Loja provinces, known for their hospitality, unique cuisine, and charming pueblos nestled between the softened folds of the Andes.
Cuenca can be reached by bus or by plane from Quito, and by bus from Guayaquil or from Peru.
