Høydepunkter
Cuenca, Ecuador, is a colonial gem that lays sprawled out amidst the Andes mountains that surround the city. Cuenca’s Cathedral de la Inmaculada is a centerpiece of the city that is commonly referred to as the New Cathedral. It is possible to climb up the towers of the Cathedral. It takes many steps to reach the top, where the effort is rewarded with fantastic views of Cuenca’s historic center. Visitors will also get an up-close look at the Cathedral’s pretty blue domes.

Rute
The richness of its architecture and culture in general earned Cuenca the appointment of Cultural Heritage of Humanity, on December 1, 1999. The Historic Center, with about 200 hectares, is formed by the oldest residential area. Here we find a great number of buildings of colonial style and Republican of great beauty; the archaeological zone; the artisan neighborhoods (of colonial origin); the central markets; the Tomebamba Ravine with Paseo 3 de Noviembre and several places of cultural and scenic importance that show the reason for the declaration as a city Cultural Heritage.
You will be picked up from your hotel at 9am to make your way to the historic downtown. See rustic houses and churches built in the 19th century, and tick off Cuenca highlights such as New Cathedral (Catedral de la Inmaculada), Plaza Abdon Calderon, Mirador de Turi, and Museo Catedral de Vieja.
Later, step back in time to 1557 to see the Catedral el Sagrario along with the council, the jail, the cast house and the hospital. The tour will conclude with a drop-off at your hotel.

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.
