"don't be lulled into complacency" Top 5 Page for this destination Cuenca Warnings Or Dangers Tip by richiecdisc

Just as in any big South American city you have to keep your wits about you. There are streets that while during the day are fine it would be unwise to frequent them later at night. Keep an eye out for anyone following you and always try to travel at least in pairs. Stay on main streets when possible and if not at least ones that are well lit. Stay away from ATMs at night too. In general, enjoy your night but get home at a reasonable hour and once you are on your way, do so swiftly and walk with purpose. We found by using these simple precautions we didn't have any problems and found Cuenca to be one of the more enjoyable Ecuadorian cities by night.
