Description
Cuenca, capital of the province of Azuay, ( in full, Santa Ana de los cuatro ríos de Cuenca) is located in the sierra of the Andes, in the Austro or southern region of Ecuador. It is approximately 2,500 meters or 8,200 feet above sea level.
The dominant features of the city's geography are also the source of its name in Spanish: the four rivers of Cuenca (meaning a basin made by a confluence of rivers). These rivers are the Tomebamba (named after the Inca culture), Yanuncay, Tarqui and Machangara, in order of importance. The first three of these rivers originate in the Páramo of Parque Nacional Cajas to the west of the city. These four rivers are part of the Amazon river watershed. Cuenca is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with passes to the west, south and east.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken August 10/15 in Cuenca, Ecuador, nestled in the Andes Mountains.
