The Tomebamba River flows through the heart of Cuenca, offering a peaceful escape with well-maintained riverside promenades. Visitors can enjoy views of the city's iconic bridges, including the Puente Roto and the modern Puente del Vado, while watching locals fish or jog along the banks. The area is particularly vibrant in the late afternoon when the light softens over the water.

Don't miss
