The route of the Museums of Cuenca

A museum is to approach in some experiential way some of the most transcendental human manifestations: admire art in such a way that we can glimpse its real message; understand crafts in their true human and cultural dimension; to look at history so that we can relive it and learn from it.

In this route we invite you to take a tour that, in addition to offering us the possibility of enjoying all the aforementioned, will allow us to discover the scenic beauty of one of the most attractive circuits in Cuenca: the one that runs around the vicinity of the Tomebamba River as it passes through the city downtown:
