That depends largely on where you want to go. Downtown Cuenca, about 1 mile from Cuenca Airport (CUE-Mariscal Lamar), can be tricky to drive around. Make life easy by booking something small, fuel-efficient, and a cinch to handle. Keep in mind that Cuenca is also the gateway to many of the shingle seashores in Azuay. If your journey is more about cruising down highways, you may want something with a bit more comfort and extra legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
