What to expect
Your guide meets you in Cuenca and drives you to the site in a cooled vehicle. Once there, expect gentle walking routes through the Enchanted City's otherworldly stone pillars and arches—a geologist's playground. The rocks are weathered into shapes that seem almost intentional. You'll trek to the Devil's Window for photographs and perspective, then head back downhill. The pace suits most fitness levels; it's not a slog, but you will be on your feet for a couple of hours with uneven ground underfoot.
Good to know
Wear proper walking shoes with grip; the stone can be loose and slippery. Bring water and a hat—there's limited shade among the rocks. Infants must sit on an adult's lap in the vehicle. Local buses also reach the site if you prefer independent travel.
