There's nothing more relaxing than strolling along a river and watching the water flow downstream. Why not pack a picnic lunch and spend a quiet couple of hours at Rio Tomebamba?

Rio Tomebamba is a great place to start out your day in Cuenca. This flowing body of water is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Save time for other sights like Calderon Park, Alejandro Serrano Aguilar Stadium, and Mall del Rio to make the most of what's on offer in the area.
