Cuenca, Ecuador
Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Cuenca accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Cuenca and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"It's strange here, in that on the surface, everyone mingles well and it is quite the mixing pot. Cuenca always has lots of tourists due to both its reputation as well as being such a destination for learning Spanish. Beneath the surface, for residents, however, there is not a lot of mingling between classes, as in most Latin American countries. In expat circles, everything is fairly acceptable as we tend to have quite the liberal lot," said a member in Cuenca, Ecuador.
