The historical centre of Cuenca
Inside the National Bank
In addition, it is also a modern city. Although I was definitely a little naive when I arrived in Cuenca, I remember finding it difficult to believe that I was actually in South America, and subsequent travels to other parts of the country confirmed that this is a city both charming and cosmopolitan. Despite being a relatively small city, with a little under 500,000 inhabitants, one can find a huge range of restaurants serving local and international dishes, large shopping malls equipped with all the designer brands (and the expected price tags), and a thriving nightlife served by bars and nightclubs. Here a young and stylish crowd enjoy an eclectic mixture of international floor fillers, Salsa and Meringue. Furthermore, trendy art galleries and excellent museums reflect Cuenca’s status as Ecuador’s cultural capital.
Indeed, Cuenca is becoming a popular retirement destinations, because it combines colonial beauty with an exciting, modern atmosphere.
