Admittedly, I had no idea that the town of CUENCA existed before my trip to Ecuador, but I'm SO HAPPY that we made a spontaneous decision to come here on our final days in the country.
Cuenca represents everything that I enjoy about South America - charming cobblestone streets, tasty street food, historic churches and hidden wonders on every corner. Sometimes when you just take a spontaneous trip, they turn out to be the best decisions -- and that's exactly how I feel about Cuenca.
The next time you find yourself in South America, or Ecuador in specific, I highly recommend giving Cuenca a visit!

Hello what is that small vlogging camera you're using.

Where are you coming to Saudi Arabia !!!
I'm Spanish, have traveled a lot in my life and one of the cities where I would like to live in South America is Cuenca. It has many rivers there is a lot of peace, beauty and it's a very safe place.
Come on !!!
It looks very nice
@@CinCee- It is the perfect place to retire.. you can live on your SS a Middle class lifestyle here.. totally safe and the most awesome beautiful city with Parks rivers restaurants Bars Shops etc.. 7000 US and Canada Expars made the move here already and I am blessed and fortunate to be one of them..

Cuenca is literally a hidden gem! Great vid bro!
Yesssss 🤩
Thanks for watching 💕
I just moved to Cuenca to enjoy my retirement. Beautiful city, great food and lovely people. # ExpatCuencaStyle.❤️🇪🇨
I've got a few more working years but Cuenca is on my retirement destination list too!
Cuenca is awesome, my parents retired there! It's a very popular city for expats that are looking for a beautiful, lively, and affordable city. It's full of art and culture, wish the video was longer and with more content to show its full charm. Hello from Miami!
just returned from South America and spent 3 weeks in Ecuador. One of my favourite countries and Cuenca is now my favourite city I've ever visited!
I went to Cuenca, Ecuador 3 years ago and now I'm thinking about returning cuz I won some fly tickets. I expect to return this year. Greetings from Panama. 🇵🇦
COME BACK
I’m glad he FINALLY made his way to Ecuador lol
Us Ecuadorians knew what he was missing
Agreed man!! Cuencas a hidden gem. Got some entertaining Cuenca content on my channel
That city is amazing!! WOW
Yes we did know what he was missing he needed to go to this paradise
Cuenca really I like it. I’m from Somalia 🇸🇴 🇪🇨
We call Cuenca "The Athens of Ecuador" i never hear bad things about Cuenca, unlike Guayaquil or Quito. They are just chilling there it seems
Nice!! 🙏🏻

I love Ecuadorians. They're so kind and strong people. Most my friends are Mexican or Ecuadorian here in Chicago.
Tell your Friends to leave USA and go home to their south american countries, cause we don't want latinos immigrated into USA everyday

They are the sweetest kindest most helful people I have ever met.. I often get in tears when I talk to the people here in Cuenca.. the children are so cute and well mannered.. It is a whole different feeling to live here vs USA w its craziness and stress factor.. i am so blessed to have finally made it here
I visited Cuenca once, and you missed some of my reasons it's one of my favorite city I've ever been to in my life.
1) The beautiful river that runs right through the middle of the city, mixed with these colonial style architecture makes it look like a fairy tale town. Absolutely gorgeous.
2) The natural sights surrounding it, the rolling green hills you see anywhere you look.
Cuenca is straight out of a fairy tale book I tell you. Absolutely beautiful.
-Sincerely a Mexican viewer 🇲🇽
That's awesome 👌🏻

Drew you can’t leave Ecuador without seeing the rainforest it’s amazing, especially the cloud rainforest
A few years ago I spend 2 month in Cuenca. Things that you miss : 1. It's a very clean city 2. You have a very beautiful river 3. You can find more street food after 18h00
4. People are very nice 4. There is a place where they craft the original Panama hat (it is not in Paname that you will find them) 5. Many thousand of americans take their retreat there 6. They use americain dollars 6. It's very cheap : 1.50$ for a taxi, 25 cent for busses, 2.50$ for a big breakfast 6. The weather is nice, it's never too hot, I will say 15 to 23 centigrade every day
Some bad things: 1. You should drink bottle of water 2. You have to put toilet paper in the bin
That's awesome 👌🏻🤩
The toilet paper is a bin?
@@mtilenidean don’t be stupid bro
You can find humitas down the Andes all the way to Argentina, however, Ecuador’s humitas are my favorite! 😍
I love Ecuador!
Greetings form India!
🙏🏻❤
Did you listen to that song on the instrument? Bollywood copies from everywhere
@@abhisheksengupta1773 yeah bro its sound like 'idhar chala me udhar chala' from movie koi mil gya
@@abhisheksengupta1773 even I heard so...came here to see one commenting..
@@abhisheksengupta1773 he is actually playing "idhar chala mai udhar chala". Give india a little credit bro
I totally agree with you 💯 The best experiences in life is when your outside of your comfort zone!😃
Definitely!
True 😊
Thank you visiting Cuenca! I live 15 miles outside of Cuenca!
I didn't know that Eqadore is so beautiful and clean like this. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS🌻🌻🌻❤❤❤👍
@Drew Binsky I moved to Cuenca last year and am so happy here.. Ecuador is the most welcoming and beautiful country and you can live here comfortably on your Social Security as a pensioner.. Thanks for showing the rest of the folks our beautiful city
"cathedrals that date back to the 14th century" ? I think you are reading from the world heritage website for the Cuenca in SPAIN, which is also a world heritage site. This city in Ecuador wouldn't have had any churches until the 16th century.
Someone doesn’t know his history or even attempted to do some research.
Yeah I was bouta say the Americas weren’t even discovered by Europeans until 1492, which is the late 15th century.
Yes, located in Parque Calderon, Cuenca’s new cathedral was build between the 18 and 1900s.
You can also find the old cathedral if you walk some 50ms down in the same park, which was built in the 1500s
Cuenca was built in 1500s on top of the ruins of the last Summer Palace and City of Atahualpa the emperor of the Incas.. It is modelled after Cuenca in Spain somewhat.. a beautiful city of Music and art and Patrimonial Homes in the Historic district.. A true gem
I just came to the comments looking for this, because I had to pause the video on that particular instant. I was like, what?
I lived there as a kid for 3 years because my dad is from there! One of my favourite cities in the world.
Because of drew i know how beatiful equador. Its a country i had no idea looked this good
damnnnnn the LAST FEW COUNTRIES! Best of luck Drew. Crazy how far you have come since your snapchat days all those years ago
Actually, Cuenca is the first destination for retired americans,it is not as hidden as you think, great video!!!
What's so great about this is that there is a tendency to identify a country with its' most well-known city (Ecuador = Quito, etc.) and most of us don't really know the other large cities in the country. Beautifully done - this guy's videos are getting better and better.
Thanks for your support 🙏🏻❤
I am doing my best to discover these hidden gems
It is so excting to see my own Country represented in such a beautiful video, can definately agree that Cuenca is absolutly breath taking and definitely an amazing place to visit, thanks Drew
I live in Cuenca, I'm proud when I see this kind of videos. In cuenca you have more incredible places to visit, I hope that in your next time you could visit.😊
I’m so glad and happy you got to visit Cuenca! Not everyone comes here! Have a good day! Saludos desde Cuenca! ❤️❤️❤️
Ecuador is so beautiful ❤️🥰
Voy a ir a Ecuador en septiembre por 1 mes. Quiero a visitar Quito, guayaquil, cuenca y más. Tengo una amiga en Ecuador y ella es mi guide jajaja. Tengo que aprender español mucho. Saludos de Alemania 🤗
Manta vale la visita.
Espero que pases bien. I am sure you will.
Greetings from your neighbour country the Netherlands.

Oooh I recommend ya to visit “el Quilotoa” it’s a lake in the crater of a former volcano. It’s amazin we’ll be so happy to receive you in our tiny but beautiful country.
Soy de Ecuador, las 3 ciudades son hermosas, ojala la pases bien. También deberías visitar "Montañita" una playa de acá, es preciosa :")
That tone of d flute was similar to an Indian song whose name is "idhar chala mai udhar chala, jane kaha ne kidhar chala" from d movie KOI MIL GAYA
Can't agree with you more! It exactly sounds the same.
I was in Cuenca in early March, 2020. It is an amazing city in an amazing country. Thanks for posting this video.
I love the mountains and ever since moving to Ecuador, I feel so blessed getting the gorgeous views on even the most simple day hikes!
Going to Cuenca for 6 months later this year, this video removed any lingering doubts i may have had. Thanks Drew
You will enjoy 😉
All you need is Ecuador. Welcome!
Indeed this place is a gem. I was there in 2003. Love the humita. There are also hot springs in the area. Beautiful.
Thanks for taking us back to beautiful Cuenca!
Thanks for watching 💕

Looks very beautiful, now I wanna visit Ecuador when the pandemic ends!
You mean if?
Just beautiful 🤩 we 🥰 loved! Awesome place! Congratulations Ecuador 🇪🇨
It´s so great to have you in our country, hope you loved Cuenca which is my hometown
Thank you for visiting the #1 city I have been dreaming to visit or live in. ❤️
Visited a lot of places during my trip in Ecuador and I can say Cuenca is the most chill, cleanest city in Ecuador.
Omg yesss u did make it to Cuenca!!!!!!! My favorite city in Ecuador🇪🇨🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Aw so nice to see my city in your videos. You missed many more things to do in Cuenca though. The local markets, Turi viewpoint, spring waters, Cajas National Park, Puente Roto, empanadas con morocho, the limpias at local markets and more. Hope you can visit us again. Thanks for sharing this video
Definitely i will be back 🙏🏻❤
@@drewbinsky you should come back! And eat empanadas de Morocho, empanadas de viento, fritada and other typical food from the Andes and coast (so many dishes). And you should go to the coast, visit the beaches and definitely then go to the Galápagos Islands (is a must).
Ecuador is a beautiful and wonderful country the people are very sociable and friendly it’s a great place to go to! Great video
Hermanos Ecuatorianos!!✌🏼🤝🏼
Lovely to see you visiting my city, it’s always overlooked but it’s truly a gem in disguise.
A cuencano here! I think you missed the best of cuenca’s food! I hope you return and have more time to visit us next time!
Ecuador is like the Europe of South America
Yessss that's true 👍🏻😃
buenos aires tambien
Southern Brazil too
you're saying because of the architecture right?
Argentina and Southern Brazil are more so. Ecuador just has the European architecture left over from Spain. Argentina and southern Brazil really keep that culture and look as well, probably because both places are vast majority white European immigrants from the early 1900s
Starting from here 6:06 : idhar chala mein udhar chala, jaane kahan mein kidhar chala. Only we desis 🇮🇳 can understand this music tune.😂 Btw love the architecture of the buildings, really it's unique and definitely worth to visit. Thanks for showing it. Greetings from India..
I heard that tune and rushed in comments section to confirm my doubt! As Don once said, "We're everywhere!" 😂💖
Thanks Drew, that definitely made my day! 😊
???
Haan Bro ❤️... Only when I heard the music understood this is definitely I have heard somewhere
Beautiful city, thanks for posting!!!
Looks beautiful!
Such a beauty ecuador 😍😍😍
5:55 Music is like "Idhar chala main udhar chala, jane kaha main kidhar chala, arey fisal gaya, ye tune kya kiya... Isn't it that😮
Absolutely man
Yeah...we didn't even leave that
Another awesome dose of positivity. Thanks again Drew!

It deserves Yes!!

I love all the musicians on the street! Really sets the vibe for the city
Yesssss that's true 👍🏻😃
Truly a wonderful place
Yeah!!!
love the scenes at Cuenca!!
Any Indian recognized the music "Idhar chala mai udhar chala from Koi mil gaya movie" 😂😂
Yes 😂 I think ,as always, bollywood has stolen that tune
What a surprise. If there wasn’t any commentary and the mention of you being in Equador then you could be forgiven for thinking this is a European city. Very clean and well organised with a mix of modern and traditional.
I was totally surprised 🤩
Looks beautiful 😍
Love this channel
I am learning the vocabulary words for different foods in Spanish.
Drew realls is SPONTANIOUS
Cuenca is somewhat similar to Jogjakarta. Jogjakarta itself also consist of a mix between new and old cultures
Thank you kindly for sharing! Awesome just awesome
Now I really want to visit Cuenca
It is so beautiful 🤩🤩
Specially there I will taste tortilla 😋
You should visit it 👌🏻🤩
@@drewbinsky definitely I would visit
also thanks for giving me Heart 😊
A big fan from India🇮🇳
Omg lol this got uploaded the same day I’m leaving Cuenca to go back to Guayaquil
