FAQs
Question
Is Cuenca safe?
Answer
Cuenca is a very safe city, and we highly recommend walking through the historic center to fully enjoy its charm. However, we advise against walking alone at night or using your phone in the open while on the street. It is safe to take taxis from the street and explore the city on foot. The locals are friendly and always willing to help. You will also find a large international community, especially many Americans, who have chosen to make Cuenca their home.
