• 5Best tour in Ecuador!

  I have traveled all over the world and Diego is easily the best travel guide I’ve ever had. I will hands down use him the next time I am in Ecuador. His knowledge of everything - history, culture, food, drink, flora, fauna, art, etc. is incredible. He’s fun, interesting, easy to talk to. I booked a solo tour and had a wonderful time. He really cares about you doing the things you would like to do. The dude knows everything about Ecuador and will answer anything with such a passion that you remember. I feel confident relating this information now when I share these stories. This was the highlight of my travels in Ecuador. Stop hesitating, and book it! Or message and ask Diego what other tours he has. I know he offers a number of them!

• 5Falls and lake were fantasic.

  Had a great time with Luis! He was very informative and took the time to talk about anything! The falls were amazing and the hike were all steps so not bad at all. Busa lake was a bit of a let down after the falls but it was a nice recreation area and would have been great with warmer weather. Overall, the tour was very good, and our guide made it better!!

  This tour was fantastic. Diego was one of the most knowledgeable guides I’ve had anywhere in the world. He is a wealth of information and is passionate about his job and this area. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

About Cuenca

Cuenca is a high Andean city in southern Ecuador, a UNESCO-listed colonial centre with a blue-domed cathedral, flower markets and four rivers.

Cuenca sits at about 2,500 metres in a basin of the southern Andes, and its historic centre is listed by UNESCO. The Tomebamba River runs beside the old quarter, with colonial houses overlooking its banks. The New Cathedral, with its three blue domes, faces Parque Calderón, and the nearby flower market sells roses and orchids. Spanish settlers founded the city in 1557 close to the Inca city of Tomebamba.
