If you stay with Miryam, you don't need a guide for Cuenca :) she shared a map and lots of information with us, we had the full Cuenca orientation right away. everything else as described, just be careful with the entrance, if your vehicle is too low it might scratch the bottom! gate is about 4m high

If you want walking distance to Cuenca's historic center, then this is the place to stay. Miriam is sharing with you lots of information with her unique friendliness. We recommend this place.

It really is a good place to stay in Cuenca. Miryam and her family are very friendly. We have stayed with Miryam for a week:)

Report Check-In

Great spot to be in town, all within walking distance. Shower could do with some hooks and a proper light switch as the motion sensor keeps on cutting out the light when showering behind the shower curtain. Miriam is a jovial and super friendly host. Parking/camp space is very limited in the narrow drive way. Make sure to contact them upfront to see if there is space. We paid $10 pnt for 2 adults in a roof tent. Use of outside kitchen with fridge/freezer and sockets to charge phones are included. We enjoyed our stay here.

Good place to stop in Cuenca. Miryam - the owner - is very nice and she can help you find a good dentist. I had found one downtown via a different entry on iOverlander and was quoted $55 for a cleaning. Miryam called a doctor she knew at the Hospital Odontologico and I got an appointment the next day for a cleaning and payed $35. The hospital is modern and well staffed.

Easy place to stay while in Cuenca. $10 for 2adults 2kids. The common area is very tight if there are multiple groups.

Report Check-In

What a gem. Miriam is super kind, hot showers, good wifi, kitchen with an oven, and walking distance to the city center. Ended up staying over 3 weeks and were accepted as family. Miriam has a solution for everything, and will personally walk you to the places. Very strong recommendation.

Report Check-In

Stayed two nights for $10/night (if you only stay one night, it’s $14). Barely fit with our friends’ Ford Transit van (and owner’s car). Parked like a Tetris game, but the location in this incredible town is hard to beat. Miriam the hostess is very kind. There are some quirks, like no toilet paper or hand soap provided, and no place to dump trash. But it’s good for a shorter stay. There is a full outdoor kitchen, hammock, and shower.

Perfect spot in the city to stay when visiting Cuenca. Very close to the city center, fast wifi and hot shower. There is enough space for 3 vans or 2 big rvs

Great place and very nice host. Just the gate is less then 4 m. Our RV is 3.2m and it was OK but there was not too much space left. I would 3.5 m.

We stayed four nights here and enjoyed the location, safety, kind staff and amenities. It's rare to find an oven so we took advantage of that! It's a short walk to the historic center of Cuenca, has decent wifi, showers and toilets. Only space for about one overlanding vehicle so we were happy to have the spot. We did contact ahead of time to make sure there was space. Gate was fine for our truck camper. Highly recommend!

We just spent 3 weeks here! Miriam is a gem! You need something, she has the solution. Bathrooms just got renewed and the campers kitchen now has a large oven too! Due to the limited parking space the pricing scheme is as follows:
- Vehicles smaller than 6 metres: 5$ pP, 1$/day for plug-in, 1$ water tank fill-up
- Vehicles between 6 and 7m: 6$ pP, 1$/day for plug-in, 1$ water tank fill-up
- Vehicles larger than 7m: 7$ pP, 1$/day for plug-in, 1$ water tank fill-up

Tent campers are more than welcome, but it's best for all campers to phone Miriam a day before you get here or send a WhatsApp (+593-999-551028) to see if there is space available. Hight restriction is around 4m to get through the gate. There is a Gran Aki supermarket just 2 blocks away, a small but inexpensive fruit and veggie store is just around the corner and just up the next block is a very good bakery. The chocolate cake from the fridge is to die for! It's super quiet at night, absolutely no street noise! The main square is only 10 minutes on foot. The water here is potable but chlorinated. Super place to stay and see Cuenca!

Perfect spot close to the historic city center! Miriam is the kindest host and can help you with anything! Very secure parking... hot showers... clean bathroom... shared kitchen... decent wifi. We highly recommend staying here for a few days while you explore Cuenca! You will feel like family here! It is best to WhatsApp Miriam to let her know you are coming... room for maybe 3 vans so you want to make sure she has room for you!
+593 99 955 1028

You pay by the length of your van... most vans are $5 per person... our van is 7 Meyers do we paid a bit more... $7 per person per night. FYI... we are 3.2 meters high and had no issues getting in the gate!

Open and ready for business. Apparently, I was the fifth overlander post pandemic. Miriam and her family are excellent hosts and the location is primo. If you don’t want to park on the street and prefer amenities in the city for a small fee of $5pp then staying here is a no brainer. Presumably, when the rest of ya post-pandemic overlanders get down here this place will be booked up.

As described a very welcoming and friendly family, the perfect place to stay while visiting Cuenca. The shower wasn’t warm when we were there, as it was warm weather, no problem. We only stayed one night but it’s definitely a place to stay longer - highly recommended.

We came for 2 nights and stayed 5. Still $5USD per person per night and well worth it. Miriam and her husband are the nicest people. Warm, welcoming, and great hosts. We felt like part of their family. This place is safe and close to the center. Places to eat, laundry, and tiendas nearby. Hot water, toilet, sink, and good WiFi. There's a small area to sit outside and one inside, where we spent most of our down time. They love Overlanders! We highly recommend!

Very friendly family.
The price still US$5 per person, if you are sleeping in a tend or your van.
But also if you want sleep in a comfortable room, it cost only US$ 10.
Have a kitchen, good hot shower, toilet. So close to historical center.
We highly recommend.

The best place we have been in South America, the kindest and greatest family you can find. They will share with you all their attention and are always wanting you to be happy and comfortable.

Spent three nights here and Miriam was very accommodating! She is in the process of renovating the place the next couple weeks, but she still let us park and stay with her. When our van had to spend the night at the mechanics, she helped us find a place to stay with our dog which we are forever grateful for. If we can we will be back to see the finished space!

Miriam is super nice and welcoming, gave us good tips on where to eat, and what to do. It’s a safe, gated, cement parking area, that fits two overlander vehicles, they might be able to fit more though. WiFi was ok, one bathroom with hot shower, tp. Has outdoor kitchen and table/common area. When we were there, they were doing some renovations/construction. Soon they will have an outdoor bathroom and shower as well as a covered outdoor kitchen area. Great location, near center. $5pp.

I spent about ten days total with Miryam and her lovely family at Tu Parada en Cuenca. I enjoyed staying there so much that I even brought my family there when they came to Ecuador for a visit. They stayed in one of several bedrooms available inside of the house. Miryam is one of those special hosts on the Pan-American, she’s willing to go to any length to ensure your comfort - whether arranging tours or helping you fix something. We became good friends and she came with my family to eat our first dinner of Cuy! This campground is a simple, level driveway capable of fitting rigs of any size and has hot showers and a kitchen along with fast WiFi. Come for the amenities, stay to spend time with Miryam. Couldn’t recommend Tu Parada en Cuenca more strongly!

Report Check-In

Miryam is the kindest host I’ve met on this drive. Her house is lovely and the parking is extremely secure. The internet is the best I’ve had on the trip (good time to back up those photos), and she will treat you like family from the moment you arrive. While I was there, she walked me personally to a self service laundry place, she joined my family for our first cuy dinner and she helped with advice on every part of my stay in Cuenca. I ended up spending just shy of two weeks here and felt like a member of their family when I left. The hospitality Miryam provides makes you feel as though you’re home even though you’re likely quite far from it.

Amazing place to visit Cuenca, close to the city center, but also quiet at night. Miriam is a fantastic host and we enjoyed the time there. Everything else like discribed by the others. Highly recommended!

Report Check-In

Honestly, it was nice and Miriam is super friendly BUT : the kitchen is outside and not completely covered which is extremely annoying when it’s rainy. one of the stove doesn’t work well.
You can use the living room but
there is only one toilets/bathroom for all guests. Prepare yourself to wait a bit.
Miriam provide a 2 persons tent if you need to camp 5$/person. The tent itself is covered which is good but it’s not super cheap 10$ for 2 persons without car just for a tent!
The home is very clean but the parking and especially the tent area is dirty and full of unused stuff.

So our overall experience was ok but with just a little tidy up, painting and cleaning this parking lot will be really beautiful

As said by everyone, great place to chill out and explore cuenca from. We pitched our tent in the parking lot. Excellent wifi, little kitchen with all that's necessary.

Great option for Cuenca. We set our tent up in the parking lot. $5pppn. Free use of the kitchen, lounge and bathroom in the house. There's also a nice area outside with a gas stove and table and chairs. The family are very friendly and make you feel at home. They do get busy though and on the first night we stayed at Mi Casa hostel because there wasn't any room but we came back for 2 more nights. Recommended.

Great camping option for Cuenca. Miriam and her family are super friendly and helpful. Camping is in the parking lot so not super comfortable and can be a bit squashed if there are lots of people staying. But you have free use of the house with a good kitchen and big lounge as well as outdoor seating and cooking area. $5 pppn.

What a fun place to stay! We arrived late and almost left without a place since there were already 4 other overlanders there. But Miriam squeezed us in by inches so we could sleep safe and enjoy company of fellow travelers. Great atmosphere! For the last day we had a common breakfast with Miriam preparing a local specialty. Definitely THE place to stay in Cuenca.

The best place to stay in Cuenca! We could fit four vans in their parking space. It didn't matter that it was a bit tight, we spent our time in Miriam's house. As you can use the kitchen and living room, you feel so welcome in their family. It was great to meet other travellers as well, we had an amazing time there and were sad to leave. Bathroom is clean and wifi in the house is fast. All perfect!

Miriam is one of the most welcoming hosts ever! The place is very well situated in the city and the family will make you feel right at home. Most importantly they just finished the work in the parking area to give overlanders more (flat) space! Still no risk to get lost. But since you can use the kitchen, livingroom and garden, its easily enough for 3 cars and their crew (view fotos). They are working on additional bathrooms especially for overlanders witch should open sept 19. highly recommendet!

The location is very well positioned, walking distance from the city center, but what makes this place so special are the hosts.
