    Cuenca

    May 31, 2018 in Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    After being so long at the sea level, we were back at the altitude. From not really nice Guayaquil we headed to a beautiful and historic city of Cuenca that has city centre part of the UNESCO world heritage.
    We didn't have a clear plan what to do, only knew we would like to go to park Cajas and do some souvenir shopping.
    The city centre itself is really nice and full of beautiful colonial architecture. The cathedral on the main square has a original blue Czech tile on the roof that can be seen from far away.
    The place has a really nice atmosphere and is easy to navigate.
    Our favorite part must have been visit to the Golden Prague Pub with some delicious food and beer.
    One of the afternoons we have decided to head towards the viewpoint Turi but got slightly stuck half way through at delicious BBQ stand.
    The city has got a lot of work going on right now and you can see an investment on every corner, including beautifully restored church San Blas.
