Great view of the whole city, but the surroundings could do with a bit of a touch up seeing as its such a popular place. More

It will take two trips here (or one long one) to fully appreciate it. One by day and one by night. It features a beautiful church and the best views of the city of Cuenca by far. More

Turi is a small town on a hill outside of Cuenca. You can get there by local bus, cab, or a long walk.

A short taxi or bus ride up to the lookout on a clear day is always worth doing. A beautiful place to look out at the entire city, take photos and maybe even have lunch. More

We let the cab go and were then stranded and had to wait for a bus which runs hourly. If you go, get... More

You can get up here via bus for 25 cents which runs up a down Avenida Solano every half hour with a big sign that says Turi. You can also take one of the $5 city bus tours that leave from the central park, and they make a 25 min stop at the top. It has great views of the... More

This is a great overlook and I have found it to be safe at night-just ask your taxi to wait for you while you take in the city lights. More
