Admittedly, I had no idea that the town of CUENCA existed before my trip to Ecuador, but I'm SO HAPPY that we made a spontaneous decision to come here on our final days in the country.
Cuenca represents everything that I enjoy about South America - charming cobblestone streets, tasty street food, historic churches and hidden wonders on every corner.
Sometimes when you just take a spontaneous trip, they turn out to be the best decisions -- and that's exactly how I feel about Cuenca.
The next time you find yourself in South America, or Ecuador in specific, I highly recommend giving Cuenca a visit!
