Cuenca and related destinations

Beneath blue-domed cathedrals and colonial balconies, this UNESCO World Heritage city reveals itself at a civilised pace. The New Cathedral stands as an architectural masterpiece while four rivers carve through the historic centre. Mercado 10 de Agosto offers a sensory education in Andean produce and local life. Take tea at a café overlooking Plaza Rotary Market or explore the Sombrero Museum to discover the truth about 'Panama hats.' The University's Orchid Garden showcases delicate blooms that thrive in this perpetual spring climate. For a perfect afternoon, follow locals to Río Tomebamba's grassy banks or climb to Puente Roto, the 'broken bridge' that frames postcard views of the city's red-tiled roofs.
