"Cuenca is generally considered a safe place to live. According to the travel guide of Ecuador, travelers should take the same safety precautions that they would take anywhere else in the world. Petty crime does exist in Cuenca, such as pickpocketing, scams and occasional muggings, yet these incidents are considerably less frequent than violent crimes. Generally, tourists and expats are advised to be vigilant of their surroundings, avoid displaying wealth and try to blend in with the locals as much as possible," remarked another expat who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador, Ecuador.
