Huayna Capac y Casique Duma Esq.Getting to the hostel.....From Bus terminal: 15 blocks from bus station, walking distance exit the bus terminal turn right on Espana av follow it until yo hit Huayna Capac av, then turn left and follow it 10 blocks down until you hit the corner of Cacique Duma st and youve arrived. Alternatively you can take a taxi from there for $1.50. Arriving in the night it would be safer to take a taxi! In the night its $2.You can choose to discover Cuenca walking or to move around by bus. You will find bus stops on the streets but most of the time you can also flag down the bus. The city bus cost about 0.25 USD per ride (exact change needed).
