Cuenca is a wonderful city. I felt VERY safe there as a woman traveling alone. That said, I also felt safe during my two weeks in Quito -- I stayed in the La Floresta district and had no problems whatsoever. I felt like the warnings I got about it were overblown in the end -- people telling me I should never take out my phone to take photos, etc. All of that turned out to be nonsense. It was fine! Every big city has crime. Quito did not feel any different. I liked it there a lot more than I thought I would. But Cuenca definitely outshines it overall. Such an easy city to navigate, and a lot more of a chill vibe, indeed.

Cuenca usted to be a nice peaceful town until all those old gringos arrived.
I found it disgusting that they feel entitled to use the Ecuadorian health service which was designed to attend the poorest locals. Those gringos haven't got shame!

Why dont you talk about earthquakes, noise, dogs, unstable goverment, driving restrictions, altitude sickness, mosquito hoards, VISA law changes, furniture issues or needing to carry 5 pounds of change?

You showed the roasting Guinea pigs that is one of the meat choices in Ecuador. And Cuenca has a great streetcar system. And Ecuador uses the USA dollar as their currency. So thats easier.

The only negative thing I've read about Cuenca for long term living is more rain than I'd want. Plus it might be cooler than I'd like, even though I prefer moderate weather.

I moved to Cuenca in 2020 and am very happy here. only drawback is the rather cold weather here that you encounter for most of the year.
