El Nomad Recommends

This blog contains the "huecas" (or secrets) of Cuenca that El nomad recommends. These places are locally owned and frequented by local people. As we consider recommending a place we always look at product price and quality, customer service, and overall experience. We have tried to incorporate a mix of businesses and welcome your comments if you have experiences with a business we have posted about, questions about the locales, or suggestions about places we should check out.

Hours of operation:
They are available any hour, simply call or email and set up an appointment

Services: Their slogan is "We Help You Get It Done!" and that they do. They help English-speaking foreigners who move to Cuenca navigate the system. They can help you with anything from finding and renting an apartment, to translating a website, to finding and/or going to the doctor or dentist, to negotiating for and buying furniture, and much more! They will help with negotiations so you aren't overcharged, and steer you away from locales that want to take advantage of you because you are new in town or not from Ecuador.

Customer Service Review (out of 5 stars): 5 stars

About Ecuador

In a few short hours you venture from the exotic plants and animals of the jungle to immense, snow-covered peaks of the active volcanoes in the Andes highlands. A few hours more and you wind up in the coastal region where freshly caught seafood can found at every turn, and lively salsa music seems to come from all angles. A thousand kilometers off shore lay Darwin’s Enchanted Islands, the Galapagos, with their sandy beaches and endemic wildlife. Cities with majestic churches, historic colonial-style towns, colorful markets, and friendly residents, make Ecuador the ideal place for an international experience.

About Cuenca

Cuenca, whose name stands for river basin, is tucked into a majestic valley in the heart of the Andes Mountains. With a population of 350,000, Cuenca is Ecuador’s third largest city, but provides the feeling of a much more intimate town. In 1999 Cuenca was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site and was recently voted one of the top ten cities in the world to visit in 2010 by the Lonely Planet. Lively street markets, colonial churches, indigenous peoples in traditional dress, and a warm friendly atmosphere make Cuenca a perfect home away from home.
