Cuenca, Ecuador - Vol. I

El Cafecito - My digs in Cuenca


The second half of my trip took place in Cuenca, which is the 3rd largest city in Ecuador and in the southern part of the country. For $15/night, I got a private room at a hostal called El Cafecito. You entered through a street-side door, walked through a passage and into a large, glass-covered atrium. In the rear was a small garden. It's a great place to stay.

After getting situated in my room, I took off to the central plaza to get a lay of the land and my bearings. Cuenca is a typical, European colonial city, with narrow streets, plazas, statues, and churches.
