Around Cuenca for a day - The morning started well with a visit to a cafe serving delicious traditional Fritada Then moved onto Ingapirca which was an amazing and interesting place with both Incan and CaƱaris ruins . Wilson our tour guide had excellent knowledge and provided a very informative commentary as we were moving on our tour .The workshop we visited was and a superb demonstration of traditional weaving and cloth making. Lunch was excellent and provided by Alhana Hostel which was then followed by a final trip to a local cafe to try rosero juice .

Definitely worth it - Our guide was Luis and it was myself and my two kids (ages 12 and 8). We couldnā€™t have asked for a better tour. Luis made sure my kids were happy as well as make sure all the adults were being fully informed and the great places we visited. He was really thoughtful and patient. The tours were extremely interesting and a must for any visitors to this area. Thanks again for everything

You are lucky if you get Luis for a guide . - Luis was a great guide for a full day of exploring the area around Cuenca. She would be our go-to guide for any additional wandering.

Great tour of Cuenca region! - This tour was wonderful! The guide - Cristian - is really knowledgeable and was able to engage our mixed group (ages 5 - 65, mix of English and Spanish speakers). The artisans he works with in Gualaceo and Chordaleg who share their talents with the group are amazing. He was also on top of making sure the lunch met several varying dietary needs.
