In Cuenca we were welcomed by a friend's family who arranged a room for us to stay in. These last couple of days we've been fortunate enough to live and learn amongst locals. We've shared the stories, traditions and cuisine of their families. From hearing the sound of the Bandoneon played by a local musician (grandfather to our host) to eating every imaginable dish, we enjoyed every minute of it. The people of Cuenca are humble, traditional and above all proud of their heritage. It was a pleasure to experience their world for five memorable days.
