here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nCuenca is located in Southern Ecuador; set in a valley, and surrounded by Andean mountains. It is a charming city, with beautifully preserved architecture in and around the Old Town, which can be explored and enjoyed on foot. I joined a free walking tour on my first day there (always a good way to get to know a city\/country) and marvelled over the elegant colonial buildings that line the cobbled streets, with their mix of Italian and Spanish architectural influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nView of Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepci\u00f3n, from Seminario San Luis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe most famous, and incredibly exquisite building is the blue-domed Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepci\u00f3n or New Cathedral of Cuenca. Situated in front of the central plaza \u2018Parque Calderon\u2019, this grandiose structure took almost 100 years to be constructed. It is famously incomplete due to a miscalculation by the architects – the two towers that flank the front facade were truncated as the foundation would not have been able to bear the weight had they been built to their full heights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nThe opulent marble arches, grand interiors, and imposing doors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nViews of the Cathedral from the surrounding streets allow you to appreciate the scale of the building, and its materiality; from the opulent marble doorways and stained glass windows to the striking blue and white glazed tiles from Czechoslovakia (Czechia). Views from the top of the Cathedral give you the city\u2019s skyline set against the backdrop of imposing Andean mountains. I loved exploring the Cathedral; so much so that I went back for more after the walking tour, and again the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nThe stunning blue and white tiled domes, and views from the top of the Cathedral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Town is bustling, but not overwhelmingly so. It still retains an old world charm. There are pockets of quiet and solitude like the central plaza with its garden of over 400 species of plants and trees; and other shaded plazas and cafes dotted around.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nParque Calderon (as seen from the Cathedral)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSouthwest of the Cathedral is the Plaza de la Flores, considered one of the top outdoor flower markets in the world due to the diversity of the flowers (one of the benefits of the high altitude, and climate, of Ecuador). Here I tried \u2018Agua de Pitimas\u2019 (\u2018water with a little bit more\u2019 in Kichwa, an indigenous language). This herbal drink is made by Carmelite nuns. It is said to contain 65 different medicinal plants, and to have special healing and calming effects. To me, it tasted both of nothing and of peppermint. If nothing else, it\u2019s a good way for the nuns to raise funds from its sale!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nAgua de Pitimas at Plaza de la Flores <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOur next stop was Mercado 10 de Agosto. This lively market is full of vendors selling a range of fresh produce, dry goods and household items. I have a love -hate relationship with markets. They always seem to be on the list of \u2018things to do\u2019 in most tourist destinations but I feel like they\u2019re \u2018fun\u2019 for people who didn\u2019t grow up with markets. As a Nigerian, I have been to markets so many times, that I never find them particularly interesting. However, they are the best places to try fresh local produce. And this market did not disappoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nFresh produce at the market, including the best strawberries EVER and ‘chulpe’ (bottom R)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nWe gravitated to the produce section, where I bought the most delicious strawberries I\u2019ve ever tasted in my life. I would literally go back to Ecuador just for the fruits! And I also enjoyed the roast maize snack (\u2018chulpe\u2019 or \u2018cancha\u2019).\u00a0 Our tour guide, Fernando, suggested we try the award -winning roast pig, \u2018plato de chancho\u2019, sold by two rival stalls (apparently one or the other has won an award for their roast every year for decades). Unfortunately I was once again disappointed by the (lack of) flavour of the meal although the roast was tender and juicy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nAndean Mountains as a backdrop to the city <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe continued to meander the streets of the Old Town, ending up by the banks of River Tomebamba and the ever present mountain views. I met up with Fernando for coffee later that evening. We went to one of those hole in the wall cafes that only the locals know about (he brought me a sample of his very own chocolate that he makes! For the life of me, I can\u2019t remember what it was called but he sells it sandwiched between crumbly biscuits, and it was scrumptious). We wandered around Cuenca in the twilight but unfortunately a burgeoning migraine (mine) put paid to our plans to go dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nMeandering along Rio Tomebamba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe next day, I continued along the path of River Tomebamba, as it traversed the city, towards Parque El Paraiso. The impressive colonial buildings of the Old Town gave way to modern (less architecturally interesting) buildings of the city but it remained a scenic setting, with the Andean mountains in the background.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nTerraced hill and archaeological ruins at Museo Pumapungo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nI spent the afternoon at Museo Pumapungo. The indoor exhibition was closed for refurbishment but one could explore the open-air Archaeological Park for free, which I did. Here I got a better appreciation of the Incan culture and history of Cuenca; one of the reasons why this city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Museo Pumapungo holds ruins that are thought to be of the Incan City of Tumipampa (Tomebamba), once the northern capital of the empire. Its terraced hills were similar to those I had seen in ruins in Peru (although on a far less grand scale). Tomebamba had been given capital status in the 16th century,\u00a0 by the penultimate ruler of the Inca Empire, Huayna Capac. Unfortunately the city was destroyed during civil war between the tribes (pre-Spanish invasion). The park was surprisingly bucolic, considering it is in the middle of the city, surrounded by high rise residential buildings. There was an artificial pool at the foot of the hill,\u00a0 a cloverleaf-shaped garden where gardeners plant the same vegetables that the Incas would have done, and a bird sanctuary.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nClover shaped garden, and at the bird sanctuary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nUnfortunately my time in Cuenca was pretty short (less than 48hrs) so I had to satisfy myself with a \u2018taste\u2019 of the city rather than a full exploration. One of my regrets is that I did not make it to Cajas National Park (an hour away from Cuenca, it is said to be one of the most unique national parks in the country, located at almost 4500m or 14600 ft above sea level). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuenca filled my need for history and beauty and it\u2019s a city I would love to visit again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nDid you know?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe \u2018Panama\u2019 hat actually originated in Ecuador. The name came about because in the 19th century most of the hats makers moved to Panama for economic reasons and the workers constructing the Panama canal often wore these hats to protect them against strong sunshine. A 1906 picture of Theodore Roosevelt wearing one of such hats during a visit to the Panama canal excavation made the hats even more famous, and the name stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever been disappointed by the cuisine of a place you’ve visited? Do you think I am being harsh about Ecuadorian food? Tell me in the comments below. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPrevious Post <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Cuenca was my absolute favourite city in Ecuador. It had everything one would want in a city (if you are me, that is) – stunning architecture, beautiful landscapes and delicious non-Ecuadorian food.
