When is the best time to go to Cuenca?
The best time to go to Cuenca is during the dry season, which generally runs from June to February, with the driest months being July, August, and December.

During these months, you'll experience more sunshine and less rain, making it ideal for exploring the city's historic centre and its surrounding natural beauty. The weather is typically mild year-round, with average daily temperatures hovering around 14–18°C (57–64°F), but the dry season offers more consistent pleasant days for walking and outdoor activities.

For those planning to explore the Cajas National Park, located just west of Cuenca, the dry season is particularly beneficial.

This makes it a great time for hikers and nature enthusiasts to experience the park's stunning scenery.
