Over the past year, we’ve published a number of driving videos around Cuenca Ecuador. In this video, we want to share something a little different. This video is a complete timelapse of the two-hour double-decker bus trip around Cuenca.
This post has two videos. One at normal speed (10 frames per second) and another at half speed (5 frames per second). We did this so you can see either a quick overview or a detailed tour. The tour lasted two hours.
Take a complete tour of Cuenca in this 12-video city tour.
Double-Decker Bus Time Lapse Video
We shot this video on top of the large red double decker bus. You can catch it at Parque Calderon in Cuenca’s downtown.
Note: As you’ll notice in the video, the bus loops around the main park (Parque Calderon) before leaving the downtown.

This video is identical to the first one, except that is slowed to half speed. If you are thinking of moving to Cuenca, this might be the one for you.

Watch for low hanging wires. This one was marked with a red flag.
A low brick bridge you’ll pass under. Make sure you duck!

Hello Bryan & Dena
My wife and I are planning to move to Cuenca within the next 6 months. Thanks for the tour video.
We now live in Southern California.
I loved this tour when we were in Cuenca July 2014 (especially the alarm ringing for those of us on top to duck when they were coming up on low hanging electrical and phone wires – it turned the trip into a thrill ride).
Seeing this makes me “homesick” for Cuenca. I can’t wait until we move there next year.
Thanks for the piece of nostalgia!!!!
Nice job! Makes me miss Cuenca! We’ll add a link to our newsletter….great way for folks to make a ‘quick visit’ and help with some decision-making perhaps.
Thanks Julie!
Brian I am more of a beach guy. Can you recommend a safe nice beach community on the beach. Thanks
We never lived on the coast, so I’m no expert. But I know that there are many expats living in the section of coast between Salinas and Manta. There are a number of developments – and many small fishing towns.
That’s where I would start, if I were you.
Thanks Brian for some direction. I totally admire what you are doing.
Excellent!!! This is perfect for anyone wanting to visit or move here to Cuenca. I will be sending it on to all of my friends.
Glad to hear it. Thanks Vicki!
