Cuenca es la ciudad más bonita del Ecuador, sin duda.
Mercado 10 de Agosto para un hornado.
Los sombreros de paja toquilla son de Ecuador, no de Panamá, que quede claro.
Ingapirca, las ruinas incas más importantes del Ecuador.
Las cúpulas azules de la Catedral Nueva, icónicas.
El Mirador de Turi de noche, Cuenca iluminada, precioso.
El Cajas, ir abrigado, hace frío de verdad.
Falta el Museo de las Conceptas, el monasterio es precioso.
