Framed by lush green mountains and crossed by four rivers, Cuenca, also known as Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca, is a charming city located in the Azuay Province of Ecuador. With its preserved colonial architecture, vibrant traditions and rich artistic scene, Cuenca is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A Car for Every Journey

Whether you are an adventurous explorer looking for off-road adventures, or a history lover wanting to discover the city's rich colonial past, there is a rental car suitable for your needs. Compact cars are perfect for solo travelers or couples, SUVs are ideal for families or small groups whereas minivans offer more space, making them an excellent choice for larger groups.

Driving in Cuenca

Driving in Cuenca offers a unique opportunity to discover the city and its surroundings at your own pace. However, navigating through Cuenca can be a little tricky due to its narrow streets and unique traffic rules. Don't fret! With a little bit of preparation, you'll become a confident driver navigating the roads with ease.

  • Speed Limit: The general speed limit in the city is 50km/h, while on highways it is 90km/h.
  • Parking: Paid parking spots are available throughout the city with parking rates generally affordable.
  • Required Documents: Make sure to have your passport, driver's license and an International Driving Permit (IDP) with you at all times.

Exploring the City and Beyond

With your rental car, you can discover the city's landmarks at your leisure. Visit the resplendent New Cathedral whose spires dominate Cuenca’s skyline. Surrender yourself to the peaceful ambience of Pumapungo Gardens. Or, you can take off for a day trip to El Cajas National Park, home to hundreds of lakes and a wildly diverse ecosystem!

Climate and Best Time to Visit

Cuenca has a year-round spring-like climate with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. However, the best time to visit is during the dry season from July to September when you can fully enjoy outdoor activities.

Remember The Local Currency

The currency in Ecuador is the U.S. Dollar. Most establishments accept credit and debit cards but it is always a good idea to carry some cash, especially when visiting local markets and small eateries.

Plan Your Visit Around A Seasonal Event

From the colorful Carnival in February to food, music and dance at the Cuenca Independence Festivals in November, there's always something amazing going on in Cuenca. So, why not time your rental car journey around one of these fantastic events?
