You may spot New Cathedral of Cuenca in the skyline before you actually find this important place of worship. Look around inside if the doors are open or just appreciate the facade from outside.

New Cathedral of Cuenca is an interesting place to begin discovering Downtown Cuenca. This principal church comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Calderon Park, Alejandro Serrano Aguilar Stadium, and Mall del Rio to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.

Reception in the check in they charge xtra for the IVA taxes that Expedia didn’t include in the price receive. The security box has broken , and every day I have to call the maintenance to open. Extend one day in the reservation makes doble of the initial price very sad.

The altitude is over 8000 ft. I did not prepare for that and paid the consequences. Difficulty breathing.tiredness. loss of appetite. Research what you could do to combat altitude sickness before you travel to Cuenca. It is a beautiful city. But the elevation is very high and can be a problem as it was for me.
