Cuenca Day Trip to the Artisanal Villages of Gualaceo Chordeleg Sigsig | ECUADOR
Andres takes me on one of his most popular tours from Cuenca to the artisanal villages of Gualaceo, Sigsig, Chordeleg and San Bartholome.
In San Bartholome we stopped at one of the famous guitar makers. They make everything by hand and it was so impressive.
We moved onto Sigsig for breakfast, then went to buy Panama Hats from a collective. You can find Panama Hats everywhere but Sigsig is known to have some of the best weavers and also the best deals.
We moved onto Chobshi to walk to a waterfall.
Then onto Chordeleg, known for its artisanal jewelry makers with the filigree and also really interesting ceramics. I tried craft beer in the squre and sugarcane juice called guaro.
And we ended it with one of my favourite towns in Ecuador. Gualaceo should be a UNESCO World Heritage Site for food, they really maintain the traditional cuisine. We had lunch at the Mercado 25 de junio and then traditional tortillas of maiz, choclo and wheat.
And then onto one of the best hornados in Ecuador with pepa de sambo aji.
Finally Casa Museo de la Makana is one of the last textile makers using traditional Inca and Cañari techniques. The signature textile is the makana shawl. During the colonial period this was one of the most important pieces to wear for special occasions in the province. You can still see people wearing this traditional piece today.
And of course, they apply the use of the Makana. That texture is so important to the culture even today his son also creates streetwear using the Makana fabrics. So this is one of the designs. It takes 15 days to make, all by hand, including this part, which is all embroidered. And it's only $80. And look at all of the colors, the colors all made by hand as well.
The Jimenez family has been preserving this forgotten craft for generations. Everything is handmade from counting the thread, dying it with natural plants and weaving into fabric. This is a must visit in Gualaceo.
I always stay at the CASA CUENCANA. It's affordable, Ecuadorian owned and so clean and comfortable.

Ecuador Road Trip: CUENCA to GUALAQUIZA in the Amazon
I love our Ecuador road trips because they always surprise me and this one from Cuenca to the Amazon was everything and nothing like I expected.
You can support my work at where I share tips that don't make it to videos and behind the scenes content.
I'm calling this southern Amazon road trip a light Amazon trip as we're not doing anything crazy. We're sticking to the towns to see what they are like. Gualaquiza is the largest town in the Morona Santiago province and is mostly generations down of Cuencanos who moved here 60 years ago. I think traveling in this part of the Amazon may surprise you.

CUENCA Day Trip: You'll LOVE Eating in PAUTE | ECUADOR
Paute is just 45 minutes from Cuenca Ecuador and a popular weekend spot for locals to eat Ecuadorian food and go to the river with family and friends.
It's home to traditional Ecuadorian food you won't find in many other places like yaguana, tortillas, some of the best rotisserie chicken, mapanagua, mistela and coffee grown in Paute. It's also home of the world's largest spoon.
I always stay at the CASA CUENCANA. It's affordable, Ecuadorian owned and so clean and comfortable.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN CUENCA, ECUADOR - STREET FOOD, SHRUNKEN HEADS & LIMPIAS // ECUADOR TRAVEL VLOG
** To access exclusive earl-bird content AND support our work, come check out our Patreon at If you choose to support us in this way, THANK YOU so much! **
Expats and locals have been telling us to visit Cuenca ever since we got to Ecuador, so we finally did! We discovered there are lots of awesome things to do in Cuenca, Ecuador, and in this video we bring you around the city and show you our favourite things to do in Cuenca in one day! The city is really easy to navigate and is full of beautiful colours, cafes, and museums. There is no shortage of places to visit and things to see, so in this video we visit as many as we can in one day (plus a little extra, but we explain that in the video).
We start off by getting Mico a traditional limpia which he says hurt a little but also felt refreshing, and then we show you around la Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepcion (the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception), the flower market, Mercado 10 de Agosto, a Panama hat shop, and Pumapungo Museum to see the shrunken heads, all while eating delicious food along the way! If you are wondering what to do in Cuenca or what to see in 24 hours in Cuenca, then stay tuned!

PUERTO LOPEZ + The Most Beautiful Beach in Ecuador?
Puerto Lopez has changed from a small fishermens town to a popular tourist spot.
We ate some pan de yuca, pan de maiz and empanada de pina in the street, had beer on the beach in Puerto Lopez and then dinner at Noche de Parrilla which has a #3.25 merienda.
Breakfast was at Comedor Michita across the highway where the Puerto Lopez market is on the weekend. Fantastic tortilla de camaron and bolon de chicharron.
Although we wanted to hike at Machalilla National Park and then head to swim at Los Frailes beach the hiking trails were closed. But Los Frailes is known as one of the best beaches in Ecuador and I can see why

Ecuador is affordable, and the lifestyle you can have on a typical Social Security check of $1,500 a month is very attractive. Budgets vary, and many live in Cuenca Ecuador on much less than $1,500 and others far exceed $1,500. We've met people living on under $1,000 while we've been here, so that is a possibility.

One of our spokes to our wheel for savings, and now an income stream
is Fundrise. Basically we are invested in many apartment complexes around the country.
We get a portion of the rents in the form of dividends, and growth in value with the appreciation
of the properties. We currently have selected an income REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)
which historically pays between 7.5% - 9% annually in dividends. You can chose a balanced REIT which has a split between appreciation and dividends or a REIT where it's focused on appreciation and not dividends.

CUENCA Ecuador Tour with a Local! | ECUADOR Travel Guide
Walking tour of Cuenca Ecuador considered the most beautiful city in Ecuador. I'm spending the day with my friend Andres, a tour guide who knows the best things to do in Cuenca.
I always stay at the CASA CUENCANA. It's affordable, Ecuadorian owned and so clean and comfortable.

BOOKING:

Many people retire in Cuenca Ecuador, there are lots of Expats. But it isn't a gringo town, it's a colonial city with lots of Ecuadorian culture, history and heritage...and known to have the best food in Ecuador.
We stopped at the corte de justicia or the justice court then el Seminario San Luis which is at one point it was where you would study to become a priest and is now really a court of a bunch of different restaurants, most of them are international and so I wasn't really keen to have breakfast there.
Instead I tried Angelus which is a very local spot right on the main square. Normally when you kind of go to a restaurant on the main square, you think it's super touristy but really this is all like Ecuadorians coming here. I got mote pillo and I am first with, like, oh my gawd, there's some kind of crazy cheese in here, but no, not at all.
When you come to Ecuador and you have the eggs, you will notice that the yolks here are so orange and bright and that's because you're probably going to be having free range eggs. Mote pillo is a classic Ecuadorian breakfast with hominy, eggs and cheese.
We also visited both the New Cathedral in Ecuador which is home to stained glass by an Indigenous Artist and climbed to the top of the Cathedral for $1.
At El Monasterio del Carmen, or the Carmen Monastery 12 nuns live here cloistered. There are actually two cloistered monasteries in Cuenca, but only a handful left in all of Latin America. And nuns come in here. And they never leave. They dedicate their lives to being inside the monastery for their life. They are famous for agua de pitimas, and pitimas means more please. It's made with herbs and flower petals for 50 cents
This is supposed to cure a number of things from insomnia to stomach problems to if you have skin problems. I've had this before because I had dry skin coming to this like very arid Andes.
Homero Ortega is a luxury Panama Hat museum and shop. They had people who are very famous from Ben Affleck to Johnny Depp. Hats here can cost up to $2500 but are sold for three times that outside Ecuador.
Lunch outside Cuenca in the San Joaquin neighbourhood at Cristol del Consuelo. We got the Bandeja Cristo del Consuelo which has a number of different kinds of meat, some sides, some avocado.
The Turi bus takes you on a tour of Cuenca to the Mirador or lookoff. It is only $5. Once there they offer you a glass of canelazo. But we did not follow the group.
We came up to the very top to the bar cafeteria restaurante La Colina. Canelazo is an alcoholic drink made with aguardiente, very typical drink in the Andes with aguardiente, an unaged sugarcane alcohol and they mix it with naranjilla fruit cinnamon and sugar. Everyone, again has their own recipe.

My Favourite Market in CUENCA Ecuador
The best market in Cuenca Ecuador. I share why it's safe to eat in the market, how to get the best price and where to find everything.
Cuenca is one of the most popular cities in Ecuador for a good reason, it's one of the most beautiful and there's so much to do with lots of free art and culture events, museums.
And Cuenca is one of the best spots for traditional Ecuadorian food.
I always stay at the CASA CUENCANA. It's affordable, Ecuadorian owned and so clean and comfortable.

// MORE ABOUT ME!//
Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.
