Is the cost of living in Cuenca high?

Answer this Question

We asked people about the cost of living in Cuenca, they wrote...

"Prices are and product availability and servicing is changing rapidly. Though many things have always been cheaper (food and lodging) technological products were very dear 10+ years ago, they are not now. I bought a new computer yesterday and the price (with a bit of shopping) was 5% more expensive for the same thing on Amazon.com. us. I double-checked, all specifications. That being said, if you are looking for a city and country cheaper than Cuenca, there are plenty. They simply will be far less fun," wrote a member who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador.
