I plan to move to Cuenca in about a year. I am a single, retired woman and would like to have some contacts and develop some friendships before I move. Moving to a new country not knowing anyone is a bit scary for me but I so want to come to Cuenca. Thanks

Hi Summermist,

First new member here and first post. Year before last, my wife and I went to Ecuador ( she's from Guayaquil) and my favorite place was Cuenca).

I thought I'd answer your question about the roads from another post. So, the airport in Cuenca to the city isn't bad. I think the poster who commented on the roads was talking about coming from Guayaquil. Like you, I'm not a big fan of heights and at one point I'm positive I felt our bus sliding a bit. The scenery was pretty, but next time we're flying into Cuenca. And that's what I'd suggest for you. :-)

Good luck on your move. I think you'll love it. I'm trying to convince my wife that we should retire early and move to Cuenca.
