An 11h 30m day to UNESCO-listed Cuenca and the rock formations of the Enchanted City, park admission included, with a canyon stop at Ventano del Diablo.

Lunch is on you; the 4.58 rating reflects a long bus day, so pick it for the landscapes, not the pace.

Best for: An 11.5 hour day to UNESCO Cuenca and the Enchanted City rock park with admission included: 4.58 from 200 reviews, the biggest Cuenca base here. Cuenca comparison

Trade-off: Rating 4.58, a long bus day.
