Top Cuenca Private Sightseeing Tours

Add some adventure to your Ecuadorian vacation on a private bike tour from Cuenca. Comfortable transfer from your hotel takes you for a downhill bike ride along "El Camino Viejo" to the Yunguilla Valley. Starting from an elevation of 9,064 feet (2,760 meters), you’ll enjoy a 25-mile (40-km) ride through native forests, farms, and local communities. Go at your own pace and are free to pause at any time to take photos.

Discover the story behind every bite of chocolate on a journey that connects the field, the industrial cocoa processes, and Cuenca gastronomy. At Finca Patawasi you will learn about the origin of our cocoa: from planting and harvesting to drying its seeds. Then, at Industrial Fátima, you will discover how it is transformed into bars, bonbons, and other creations. The experience continues at Hannan Chocolatería with an author's sensory tasting of products made with 100% Ecuadorian cocoa, where you will explore aromas, textures, and flavors. To complete the tour, you will enjoy a typical lunch in Taitico, with your choice of roasted guinea pig or baked pork. An experience for those who want to go beyond tasting chocolate: to know its origin, understand its production, and discover the flavors of Cuenca while also touring the city's historical sites such as the beautiful Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the Old Cathedral with its museum.

Indulge in one of the most decadent pairings in Cuenca: wine and chocolate. Visit Altisimo Chocolate and experience a private tasting of red and white wines with handmade chocolate truffles and bonbons made from Ecuadorian and Peruvian cacao, led by an expert. You’ll also learn about the history of cacao growing in Ecuador and have time to tour the shop.
