Cuenca Beautiful! Old World Architecture, River Scene and Parque Calderon

We've lived in Cuenca for 3 months now and not a day goes by that we don't enjoy something about Cuenca or discover something new and neat about Cuenca. Some days we'll be walking along the cobblestone streets downtown and I'll see a colonial building that I haven't seen and I'll just have to take a picture. This is where this video comes from--a hodge podge of short videos and photos that I have taken of different areas of Cuenca. Enjoy!

What our Readers Have to Say

Thank you for all the information you and Frank and your family have provided online about Cuenca. I love hearing about real life there (both good and bad) and it is honestly real, not just PR from someone trying to make a profit. I loved the video of Alice. She answered a lot of questions for me in her videos (and saved you from some emails from me!). I love seeing the videos of Cuenca. --Michelle from Houston

I plan to come in Cuenca in a few months, and your guide is the best I ever had in my hands. This new version is even better. You are the only ones which seems 'real'. -- Erick, from Montréal, Canada.

Thanks for providing information to my query so quickly. I just wanted to let you know how informative and enjoyable your Blog is. Of all the blogs we have discovered, yours is the most realistic and contains the type of "reality" information former corporate types find useful. -- Allen M. Essex County New Jersey

Loved your Cuenca Landing Guide! I am in Cuenca this week, your guide is helping a lot. Your videos have been very informative. Victor Helsing, Huron, South Dakota

Thank you so much for directing me to your rental site! I went there and took a good look. You are amazing people wanting to help others in this way. Thank you for all your help, Cindy B. --Providence, Rhode Island

I am not suffering from sonsory overload as I experienced when I first arrived, having gone to many of the places in your Landing Guide, which I have found to be incredible in both its detail and up-to-date information. The amount of incredibly important information contained in the document more than pays for itself! Thank you! Brian Osburn from New Mexico

We have found your blog and videos very helpful and informative. I just finished reading your book DIY Cuenca Landing and my husband has started it. Thank you for all the wonderful information you presented - it really helps to have an idea of what Cuenca is really like. Mark and Shanon from Heavener, OK

I bought your DIY Cuenca guide and it's REALLY Fabulous!!! Of all the various writings and guides i've seen (or bought), yours is by far the most detail oriented and useful. Thanks for putting this together and making it available! And it's especially nice that you update it :-) Soraya Charlottesville, VA.

I am extremely pleased that you have added Quito to your "coverage area" in the blogosphere. My wife and I have talked at length about an extended sabbatical with our two children that could perhaps become permanent. I would love to be able to continue work overseas, and support all four of us. Living in a better climate with better air quality, experiencing a different culture with the kids, and being able to move around freely without a car are very attractive ideas right now. Cuenca seems like a wonderful place, but Quito could be more suitable because it is a larger urban area and, as the national capital, could offer more opportunities for me. Your reports are much enjoyed here. Keep up the good work. M.R – Atlanta, Georgia.

I am just trying to know the good, the bad, and the ugly. That is what I like about your site, nothing is candy coated.You have the best blog and I just bought your guide. Montréal, Canada

Thanks again for this fantastically practical resource! A blessed read! – Jim and Deb from Raleigh, North Carolina

Many, many thanks for sending the Cuenca Landing Guide. I have read it twice and am so appreciative of your efforts. The information is exceptional! – Dee and Dick Corning from Portage, WI

Thank you. The information was helpful and well done and easy reading. I would recommend this eBook to others. Larry and Faye from Charolotte, NC

Never apologize for being who you are as we welcome your candor your breathing courage over us with your sincerity even earnest. L.B. from Houston Texas

You provide a great service to all of us who are planning on heading to Ecuador in the future. For everyone who reads this blog I want to say that the best money I've spent in
years was for Frank and Angie's guide to Ecuador. It's really worth the investment. Thanks very much! Jim Sanders Corning, CA

Pulled myself away after 9 pages...the step by step approach is wonderful. I can already feel the mild anxiety that accompanies travel to a new location dissipating. Thanks for
your help and keep up the good work. Ray Mitchell from Intervale, NH

Dear Frank and Angie- Thank you for your Cuenca landing guide. You did a wonderful job of putting it together. I am a publisher of print and ebooks so I have high standards for
books. Yours is very well written and the best of the many I've read on Ecuador. Great job! -- Linda from St Louis, Mo

We saved $400 (per month) on our short term rental with just one of the rental resources found in the DIY Cuenca Landing Guide. Thanks a million! Jerry and Nancy - Canada

Good Morning Frank & Angie, I’m an owner of your e-book and absolutely love your blogs as well as the book. I just have to say Thank you for your complete honesty and wonderful information you give to all in your blogs and videos. I respect the way you live and experience the culture of the country. It’s like a lot of people (gringos) are trying to make a buck off of someone else. (Gringos) That’s why I like your blog…it’s truthful and factual. Again keep up the great work you do..I enjoy your adventures and feel like I’m along for the ride with your videos. Closer to our time of visiting, I may be asking more questions….!! Becky from NC

Dear Frank and Angie,
I bought your "DIY Cuenca Landing Guide" and I have a serious complaint. I purchased it about 11:00 PM on a Thursday night, and couldn't stop reading it until I finished it , at 1:20 AM, Friday morning. That's 1:20 AM when I have to arise at 5:30 AM. Ouch!!! But it was well worth it. I definitely appreciated the factual, down-to-earth descriptions and assessments that you offered.

Hi Frank and Angie, First off, Love your blog. Have been following your adventures for months. My DH and I love your approach to life and your love of family. Our grown children are also close by and close to us. Keep the wonderful blogs coming, we love seeing your family's smiling faces. --Crystal from Oklahoma

Hi Guys, Just finished reading the Landing Guide - Great Job!! Very complete and lots of excellent detail. It's clearly worth much more than the price! -- Alan from Arizona

My wife and I greatly appreciate the time and efforts of your blog, it’s full of great information, and happy that you tell it the way it is. We have targeted your city as the place we want to live...hopefully sooner than later, we aren’t retired yet – just sick of what is taking place in the US. Agreed with the idea that it is up to us be responsible and not ruin the place for the locals or the expats. When can you build us a bed and couch? H & S

I purchased your book, read it, liked it…I’ve been an avid follower of yours blogs and videos almost from the very start of your relocation. All of you are so helpful…I’m proud for all you are doing for us, paving the way, so to speak...My best to all of you! Rob -- Texas

I got it the first day it was available. I read almost all of it, and it is great! -- N.M U.S

Thank you for your blog, it has been the most practical and informative of all my research on the internet about Ecuador. Tom Kane -- Vancouver Canada

I look forward to your videos and blog because of the honesty I see in the family. BunnyJean

Thank you for not "selling out" to HHI. I really rely on your honesty and candor about what it's really like to live in Cuenca. Phyllis

Frank, Angie and sons,
Thanks for the blog and the info on Cuenca and surrounding areas. I have been like a sponge reading and viewing lots of you tube vids in the past week and a half. I also read your
book last weekend all the way in one sitting. Like the others I could not put it down. -- Steve in SF Bay Area, Calif.

Frank & Angie, I finally feel like I have a resource to follow to get a real glimpse of US citizens transplanted to Ecuador. What you are doing is so appreciated. I give super kudos to your ministry and the fact that you are a Christian family make it that more comfortable for me to trust your information. Thanks again!! R.P. Memphis, TN

Both your blog and DIY guide give a good picture of what life is like in Cuenca without all the hype and Gringo gouging. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with your readers so that we may benefit from them and gain knowledge before making the move. Sincerely, Sarah from CA

Frank and Angie--I wanted to thank you for the time and care you put into your blog. It's delightful and informative to read. Barbara from Alabama

I have so enjoyed all of the information you are providing about Cuenca. Your website with such detailed information has been invaluable; I particularly enjoyed the 12 "bad" things about Cuenca. This forced me to taking mold and several other problems into consideration, helping me to plan better for our adventure. -- Fred and Susan from Gallup, NM

I get so much from your blog! Great and very useful info. ---California

Because of your wonderful guide “DIY landing guide” in which you gave all the info about getting a visa, it took me yesterday exactly one hour at the Ecuadorian Consulate in Los Angeles to get a 6 months visit. Absolutely no problems at all. Many thanks. Paul Roozen from Porterville, Ca

Wow. Thanks so much for all the honest, helpful information bit on your blog and in the landing guide. What a pleasure and delight to know that you guys are out there- at least some gringo's are not "messing up the neighborhood" so to speak! You are the most sensible, practical and honest, play it forward folks I have so far come across. My hats off to you both! With gratitude, BB from Michigan.

I admire you and respect you for caring enough to provide newbies like myself all of this valuable information.-- I purchased your DIY Cuenca Landing Guide and I must say it is filled with valuable information. I am going to print it out and study it regularly to familiarize myself with Cuenca. Ramon E. From Connecticut.
