Cuenca is located in the south of Ecuador, its known as the highlands or Sierra. its the third important city of Ecuador. For the visitors its a heritage and cultural city. Cuenca was declarated for Unesco in december 1st, 1999 as the world heritage trust city.
All people know it as a colonial city, but actually is not true, because the churches´ arquitecture belongs to XVIII century, the mayority of the old houses have a French style which belongs to the Republican Period.
If you want to visit Cuenca you can do it in two ways. The 1st one is by plane and the second one is by car
