After the birding tour, I flew from Quito to Cuenca and spent a week in the city and the area. I liked Cuenco but it was much slower-paced than the excitement of Quito and its historic center. I stayed in a great hostel called Pepe's House. I took a single day birding tour called
"One Hundred Birds in One Day". I had more than 90. The most interesting stop on the tour was the páramo area of Parque Nacional las Cajas. Also, the Panama Hat was actually first produced in Ecuador and Cuenca is still a production center. The hats are called sombreros de paja toquilla.
