Workation in Cuenca: the essentials

Blue-tiled domes of the new cathedral rise over Cuenca's UNESCO-listed centre, laid out by the Spanish in 1557 on the ruins of the Inca city of Tomebamba. At 2,538 m in the southern Andes, Ecuador's third city is crossed by four rivers, and walking along the Tomebamba below the old town is a daily habit. Panama hats are woven here, a tram crosses the city, and a sizeable North American retiree community lives alongside local students. Mariscal Lamar Airport is only about 4 km from the centre, with domestic flights. There is some coworking, and El Cajas National Park is a short drive west.
