Love, love, love Cuenca. Trying to decide if I want to live near Cuenca or Loja. You should check out Loja and Vilcabamba... thank you for the reminder. Hope to be there after the first of the year! Hope you recovered from your fall!
I LOVE the hornado, juices and humitas I have gotten at that Mercado. The "corn" (Mote) is like hominy - very often you will find it on Ecuadoran dishes and even as a snack item in a bar. Love it. Dang I miss Cuenca....
I took my husband to Cuenca and made him walk throughout the city. Unfortunately i just knew old Cuenca, I felt lost in nueva Cuenca, when I was a child all of that was just the woods where people would go to relax or have a picnic. Hopefully I can go back and enjoy another walk with my kids.
We'll be in Ecuador in two weeks for an exploratory. Cuenca is our first stop. Everything I see and read about it seems great. However, we're not city people either. We have a few other places in mind as well and three weeks to take it in. Can't wait.
That sounds exciting. Make sure you walk around alot and not just take in the tourist areas. If you are not city people you may want to check some of the outskirts of Cuenca. Assuming you like this climate. Enjoy.
We started our journey in Cuenca and ended up north of Quito. Tranquillo!! The high elevation can affect people differently. We are loving it! Our thoughts exactly on not city people, but enjoy “get always” .
I really look forward to your videos each week! Mike does such an excellent job on putting the content together, sure you weren't a film producer in another life?? I would love to take the plunge and move to ecuador, but I am taking care of my 91 yr old mother and sadly cant travel with her. I am 67 now and am running out of time. Well I live vicariously thru you, keep those films coming.
I love Cuenca. Love your video. I'll be there in two weeks. So, I'll just miss you. Latam Airlines has four flights to and from Cuenca daily. I arrive from Miami at 1:01pm and fly to Cuenca at 3: 24 pm. So, from Quito to Cuenca I'll be in my airbnb in an hour. This will be my last exploratory visit. Will probably gain 5 pounds during Cuenca Days. lol Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
Crys y Mayck,bienvenidos a nuestro lindo Ecuador lastima qur shora estemos pasando por un mal momento,pero con la valentía de nuestros militares,policias y más gendarmes,vamos a volver hacer ese país de paz.,Cuidense , se les quiere y que Dios los bendiga.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Cuenca is a lovely city💕💓💕 I'm not sure why but, for some reason I cannot help but thinking about Palermo, Sicily every time I see photo's and video's from there!! Thanks a lot for sharing and, take care..
You two are very interesting. I really enjoy your videos. My wife and I will be moving there in approx 1 year. In the meantime, we look forward to more videos.
Hi Guys! I lived there in Cuenca for a year in 2015 as a short-term missionary. I have to say I am pleased the roof/ceiling in the Mercado has been cleaned. It was very nasty with mildew and who knows what else! I loved eating there as long as I didn't look up🤣 Edit: Were most fruits and veges still a dollar per lb or kilo?
Cuenca and Cotacachi are my favorite cities in Ecuador. I am not a beach person :-). As for the noise, Cuenca is small enough that you can live in the quieter surrounding country and still not be too far out of town. I have little issue with altitude in EC, but I did need some coca leaves to chew on when hiking up and down trails at high altitude.
Thanks for watching. Yes we can't wait to see Cotacachi as well. We are just back from a 7km walk and it's a very beautiful area. As long as there is enough rainfall for lush gardens I think we can live in many places in this beautiful country.
Hi Kris & Mike ,,I told you about the rivers ,,Cuenca is beautiful ,,they have my favorite sandwich shop Subway 🤣🤣 they still pan for gold up in the mountains where the rivers flow from 👍👍
I was researching the drive to Cuenca. It is 4-5 hours from Guayaquill and 7-8 hrs from Quito according to Google. Well, we are taking one of the big comfy buses😅
I was there in July and it was a little cold for me, But I love Cuenca. If you like artisans I highly recommend the best Ecuadorian artisan Vega. He has his shop by the mirador Tury.
Enjoyed it. I'm in Mexico in a place 2200m ASL and know how it feels being out of breath in the beginning. Walking flat ground is fine but a few flights of stairs is ridiculous
A little more formal tile. That room used to be outside and it was outside tile. Not great for a indoor formal area. We do like it and it remains on our outdoor patio and rooftop. Thanks 👍
Omg I love ❤️ food from Ecuador hornado it’s delicious 🤤 LLapingachos , mote con chicharrón m, in Cuenca it’s very famous the CASCARitas de don Bosco 👌👌 it’s the paper thin super extra krispy pork skin literally it’s like cereal or I thing know what 😅 it’s like so crispy and yummy 😋 also mote pillo, mote sucio I love ❤️ caldo de bola de plátano verde ❤ my favorite soup 🍲 actually I love everything sanduche de chancho from Guayaquil you have to try yogurt persa the place it’s called naturissimo only Guayaquil Salinas I think Quito airport too … also try avena polaca the best street drink ever obviously food from manabi it’s as l se o yummy👌 😅 the best ceviche de camaron and conchas negras asadas it’s from a restaurant cebiches de la rumiñahui ❤ omg amazing but those 2 things never order fish there it’s not good at all 😅
@@KrisandMike yeah I love ❤️ it but the problem it’s that not every restaurant knows how to cook with the authentic real yummy flavor 😞 so you have to be lucky 🍀 to find a good place 😅
Greetings, you have a new subscriber in me, you are very inspiring and helpful. I would like your opinion if it would be a good investment to buy an apartment in Cuenca and rent it to obtain an income? Greetings from miami.
Thanks for watching. So to answer your question it really depends on an individuals financial position and circumstances .If you plan on living in Cuenca part of the year in the condo then rent it the rest of the year I think that works well. There is high demand for Cuenca rentals. Just spread your assets around between Ecuador and usa. CDs are an option as well. 8-11% a year in Ecuador. All depends on what you want to achieve and how much risk you want to take.

Seems like you guys had a lot of fun in Cuenca, Mike and Kris. I'm sorry you tripped, Mike. Hope you're all good now.
Ya Cuenca was great. Beautiful city. One of the best in any country. Yes feeling better now. Thanks 👍
The best part of my trips top Cuenca are walking - everywhere. Especially along the Tomebamba.
👍

We really enjoyed walking around the old Cuenca. Just beautiful. Thanks for watching.

saturday busy day . but more colorful. About Cuenca and decor, has the most important industry of ceramics like Artesa Italpisos Rialto
Thanks for watching. Yes we are discovering more and more. Beautiful ❤️
Hi Kris & Mike ,,I told you about the rivers ,,Cuenca is beautiful ,,they have my favorite sandwich shop Subway 🤣🤣 they still pan for gold up in the mountains where the rivers flow from 👍👍
Yes you did. Thanks for watching.
I was researching the drive to Cuenca. It is 4-5 hours from Guayaquill and 7-8 hrs from Quito according to Google. Well, we are taking one of the big comfy buses😅
The road from Guayaquil to Cuenca is sometimes blocked in the rainy season.
You 2 are just cute and refreshing ❤!
Lol thanks for your kind words
I was there in July and it was a little cold for me, But I love Cuenca. If you like artisans I highly recommend the best Ecuadorian artisan Vega. He has his shop by the mirador Tury.
Thanks very much. Yes after a couple weeks I am sure we will wanting the heat of the coast and our little beach town.
Good job with the video. I like it
Thanks 👍
Enjoyed it. I'm in Mexico in a place 2200m ASL and know how it feels being out of breath in the beginning. Walking flat ground is fine but a few flights of stairs is ridiculous
Yes it was a pretty strange feeling at first but happy I adjusted pretty fast. Thanks for watching
That was a beautiful floor you were having torn up. What are you putting down?
A little more formal tile. That room used to be outside and it was outside tile. Not great for a indoor formal area. We do like it and it remains on our outdoor patio and rooftop. Thanks 👍
@@KrisandMike Sounds beautiful!
Did you by any chance notice if they had good looking steaks? NY, ribeye, etc? Did it look sanitary? Thanks for the tour.
Didn't notice the cuts however great steak is not always easy to find. Typically it the aging that is not done long enough.
Hey Mike that Ecuadorian hat fits you well.. you look like a native from the Andes Mountains 😂
$5 lol
@@KrisandMike muy caro .. lol
My mouth was watering watching Mike eating the pork with aji and mote…🤪
Yes we need to go back. Lol.
What is the name of the chicken place you liked? I will look for it when I get there.
I am sorry, it's been awhile. There are lots of them tho. Rotisserie chickens outside the restaurants. You can't miss them. Everywhere.
That looked like a great floor
👍
How is the nightlife in Cuenca? Is there any nightclubs for younger aged people! Great video, I enjoyed your content. 😁✌🏻
Sorry Chris. No idea. Asleep by 10 lol.
😊
👍

How much did you pay for the Taxi ride from the Coast to Cuenca ?😊
Depends on where you are coming from. Not sure what we paid. We have a regular driver that we use for all our travel if possible.
Buenas noches Kris and Mike
What is the name of the taxi-app that's useful there in Cuenca?
Thanks for watching. The taxi app is called azutaxi.
Guys.... Jess and I are 6 minutes in and dying laughing. Manana... Mike go casa with Stalin lmao!!!!!!
Lol. Yes our videos are becoming comedies at times. Thanks for watching.
drink water while you are going over the mountain and you will be fine
Yes I need to drink more water always 😉
Careful you don't use lense 'wide angle,,' ,,,, especially on us women!!! :-)
Lol 😅
Keep improving your Spanish, it WILL pay off.
Thanks for the encouragement 🙏
