Overview
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. Discover the landmarks and interesting information about Cuenca as your private, local guide takes you from site to site.
