Absolutely go down to the river, stroll up and down it on both sides, and have a seat on the grass, listen to the water, and probably spot a few birds.
Very friendly staff. They were all so helpful and patient with ny lack of being able to speak the language.
Board walks make it easy to walk the path along this river. Crossover bridges allow you to walk to and from el centro with access to lots of shops and eateries.
This river runs through Cuenca and allows a leisurely and peaceful walk in the middle of a big city. Because the riverbed is rocky, there is always a nice flow to it.
The Tomebamba River, which separates colonial Cuenca from the newer part of the city to the south, is a very pleasant area in which to walk. There are several bridges where you can cross the river - they all seem to lead to stone or cement staircases where you find out your fitness level climbing some 70, 80 or 90 steps at 8200' above sea level! :-)
This is a peaceful riverside walk in the heart of a bustling city. We loved the sound of the water but could not believe that it wasn't brimming with trout.
It's definitely worth taking a walk along the river if in Cuenca. It's not often you see a thundering white-water river in the middle of a city so it is quite unique in that aspect. We left the Pumopunga Museum and walked back along the river into the city centre. Really pretty with lots of trees, flowers, large rocks and some lovely buildings, nice photo ops.
With the changing light, so the river changes. It is always running, the water runs over and around the rocks. When it is murky, it means there has been rain upstream. Lovely at any time of day.
A beautiful and peaceful place to walk through the heart of the city. One of the things that makes Cuenca so special.
I love these 4 rivers! Beautiful to look at and listen to the moving water,There are benches and rocks to sit on. Sometimes you need to slow down and enjoy nature. There are briges also to cross to the other side.
