Tips from the Community

February 20, 2025, Parque El Paraíso

A very beautiful, idyllic and very well-kept park on the banks of the two rivers Tomebamba and Yanuncay, located exactly between the bifurcation. The highlight is on a small island in the middle of the park, free-roaming geese cackle around you, while you can sit on small seating areas by the water.

Cuenca, with its almost 700,000 inhabitants, is the third largest city in Ecuador. It is located at an altitude of 2,500 meters above sea level, within a basin surrounded by gentle hills (hills that reach altitudes even above 3,000 metres). The city is an extraordinary combination of Andean and European culture. It offers everything you need for a regenerating break from the pedals. Don't miss the Pumapungo anthropological museum: it helps you learn more about Ecuadorian traditions and culture.
