Antes de ir: dicas para Cuenca
Transporte
- Ride the tram: Cuenca's tram crosses the city and passes near the historic center, an easy way to cover longer distances.
- Ask for the meter: Taxis are cheap; ask the driver to use the taximetro or agree on a fare before starting.
- Walk the historic center: The UNESCO-listed old town is compact and best explored on foot.
Segurança
- Watch belongings in markets: Cuenca is relatively safe, but pickpockets operate in busy markets and buses.
- Take it easy at altitude: The city sits around 2,500 meters; drink water and rest on your first day.
- Use trusted tour operators: For trips to Cajas or Ingapirca, book with reputable agencies that have good reviews.
Economia
- Eat almuerzos: Set lunches with soup, main and juice are very affordable at local eateries and the 10 de Agosto market.
- Use US dollars: Ecuador uses the US dollar; bring small bills, as change for large notes can be scarce.
- Take local buses to sights: Public buses to Cajas National Park and nearby towns cost much less than tours.
Clima e roupas
- Expect spring-like weather: Days are mild and nights cool all year; pack layers you can add or remove.
- Bring rain gear: Afternoon showers are common, so carry a light rain jacket or umbrella.
- Use sun protection: The high-altitude sun is strong even when cool; wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.
Cultura
- Buy a Panama hat: The famous toquilla straw hats are made in the Cuenca region; visit a workshop to see how they are woven.
- Try local food: Taste hornado, roast pork, and if adventurous, cuy, roasted guinea pig, plus a warm canelazo.
- Greet politely: Say buenos dias or buenas tardes when entering shops; politeness is valued.
Truques locais
- See the view from Turi: The Mirador de Turi offers panoramic views of the city, especially at sunset.
- Walk along the Tomebamba: The riverside paths below El Barranco are perfect for a relaxing stroll.
- Visit the New Cathedral: Its blue domes are a city icon; check if you can climb to the rooftop for views.
