About
Live Cuenca with an open heart. More than an excursion, it is a journey for the senses: history, wine, nature and excitement in one day. In an intimate group of up to 8 people, we will move away from conventional tourism to discover the soul of this gem between mountains.
Cuenca reveals itself as a whisper of stone and air, with its medieval charm and dreamy landscapes. You will walk through streets that keep centuries of history, admire the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Julian and the Hanging Houses, suspended over the void. From St. Paul's Bridge, the views will steal your breath.
We will taste the local essence in a traditional restaurant (each pays for its consumption).

Historic Walled Town of Cuenca
Upon arriving in the magical UNESCO World Heritage city of Cuenca, we will begin our dive with a tour of its viewpoints. We will learn how the Arabs built this city in the middle of the gorges of the Huecar River, between imposing rock walls and houses that seem suspended in the air. We will stroll through its cobblestone alleys and climb its steep hills, delving into the secrets of this unique city. Along the way, we will share its history, fascinated by the impressive medieval architecture and its Muslim roots.

Casas Colgadas
The Hanging Houses of Cuenca are one of the most emblematic icons of the city and an impressive example of medieval architecture. Built between the 14th and 15th centuries, these houses appear to defy gravity by peeking over the edge of a cliff that overlooks the Huecar River. Originally there were many more, but today three are preserved. We can admire its wooden balconies that offer spectacular and unique views of the natural environment, creating a harmonious combination of historical heritage and landscape beauty.
