Cuenca walks differently with a story on top.
Cuenca's full name is Santa Ana of the four rivers, and all four are still there. Its old town is on the UNESCO list too, and the streets still measure what they measured when they were laid out.
What you walk here.
Stories written for its streets. You walk them from your phone, at your own pace, starting wherever you are.
There is none written for Cuenca yet.
It takes someone from here who knows which corner is hiding something, a story that would not work in another city, and a route tested on foot with a stopwatch in hand.
Close by.
Distances as the crow flies, not by road. In Ecuador the difference is made by the mountains.
Where it is.
The pin is the city, not the route. No route is mapped yet, and drawing one would mean inventing it.
Cuenca sits 2,484 metres above sea level.

What to know before you believe us.
Not yet. No adventure is published yet: each one goes through writing, walking, timing and field testing before it can be played.
No. They will be self-guided: you start when you want and stop when you want. Later on there could be host-led experiences as a separate category.
With someone from there. It takes a story that could only be told in those streets, a route that holds up on foot, and field testing. The order is decided by who is ready, not by how big the city is.
