Brimming with art and heritage, Cuenca is often called the Athens of the Andes. This enchanting city, which is the third largest in Ecuador, was founded in 1557 and its architecture and charm have been well preserved. Visitors can walk cobbled streets, visit magnificent churches, and beautiful old buildings (some built in the 16th century) with wrought iron balconies and doors of hand carved wood. Cuenca’s charm is part aesthetic and part practical as it is loaded with flower and handicraft markets, art galleries and studios. Sightseeing and shopping are both a delight in this gorgeous city.
