Cuenca

Cuenca has served as an administrative and commercial centre in Ecuador’s southern Andes since the Spanish colonial era. Set where the Tomebamba, Yanuncay, Tarqui and Machángara rivers cross a high Andean basin, the city is known for its walkable historic core of colonial and republican-era buildings. Cuenca’s Historic Centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, while the blue-domed Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception dominates the central skyline. The city is also closely associated with the skilled weaving of Ecuadorian toquilla-straw hats. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Cuenca and Azuay.
