Turi is a residential district perched on a hill south of Cuenca's historic center. Its main draw is the mirador (viewpoint) offering a panoramic vista of the city's skyline, with the Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción and the surrounding Andes as a backdrop. Visitors often come at sunset to watch the city lights flicker on. The neighborhood itself has a quiet, local feel, with a small plaza and church near the lookout. It's a popular spot for photographers and those seeking a bird's-eye perspective of Cuenca's urban layout.
