Why do people move to Cuenca?

"Cuenca is an attractive destination for expats due to its low cost of living, beautiful colonial architecture, and vibrant culture. The city is known for its temperate climate, with year-round spring-like temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Cuenca also offers a wide range of outdoor activities, from hiking and biking to rafting and kayaking. Additionally, the city is home to a large expat community, making it easy to make friends and find support. With its low cost of living, stunning scenery, and friendly people, Cuenca is an ideal destination for expats looking for a new home," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Cuenca, Ecuador.

"At the risk of offending someone, I am not in Cuenca because of the cost of living. That is a bonus of course, but not key for us. We did a lot of searching of the globe (40+ years) to find a place that had the elements we needed to be happy at this stage of life.. We have had second homes in many places. After all, one gives up the proximity of family and old friends when one expats. There has to be some potent compensation! Cuenca requires the least compromises. Gobs of culture from free opera to free rock concerts. Two stadiums. UNENDING boutique shopping. A quickly recovering restaurant and club scene. 4 rivers running through it. Inca ruins. 16 century architecture! Cobble stone streets. A modern side. Views everywhere. 4 universities, colleges, music conservatoires, great inexpensive health care on anything within 10 minutes 24/7. A college town fill of beautiful young people. Many international fairs. Incredible fruits and seafood. (Everything costs a dollar..the only thing that varies is how much you get for it! :D) Today it is 6 mangoes for a buck unless you want to pick them for yourself. The best of all is the airport. It is too small for most international flights and that keeps expats and tourists away. Merely 15,000 (about 45% American and the rest from everywhere) in a greater area containing 700,000+ souls. If one yearns for beach, it is 3 hours away and the weather is hot all year long. However, the water is its warmest from December through Mayish (80F) Coldest in August (71F)," commented one expat who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador.
