When we asked people about diversity in Cuenca and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Cuenca has a diverse population, with many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds living in the city. The city's cultural and religious heritage were shaped by both the Spanish colonial era and its own Indigenous peoples. The citizens of Cuenca are generally very welcoming and accepting of others, regardless of differences in cultural backgrounds, ethnicity, or religion. People of all backgrounds can find a place in Cuenca where they can feel comfortable and welcomed," commented one expat who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador, Ecuador.

"It's strange here, in that on the surface, everyone mingles well and it is quite the mixing pot. Cuenca always has lots of tourists due to both its reputation as well as being such a destination for learning Spanish. Beneath the surface, for residents, however, there is not a lot of mingling between classes, as in most Latin American countries. In expat circles, everything is fairly acceptable as we tend to have quite the liberal lot," remarked another expat in Cuenca, Ecuador.
