It is also at a somewhat lower elevation than Quito, resulting in one of those "Spring year round" climates you can only get in the tropics at higher elevations.
It is these factors, plus a relatively low cost of living, that are transforming Cuenca into the latest retirement haven. Europeans and North Americans in the know are just starting to flock here. Today our guide was complaining that a huge American style house on a large lot cost an outrageous $150,000, unheard of in Ecuador.
Cuenca also has an old colonial centre, that, like Quito, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
