What to Bring

Prepare appropriately for the conference. Although the climate in Cuenca is generally mild, it is important to be ready for temperature changes throughout the day. Here is a recommended list:

Protector solar: Despite the mild climate, Cuenca is located at a high altitude, which means UV radiation can be strong. Daily use is recommended, especially during outdoor activities.
Light jacket or coat: Temperatures may vary between morning, afternoon, and evening. It is also common to feel colder early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
Umbrella or raincoat: Cuenca experiences occasional rainfall throughout the year, so it is advisable to be prepared.
Comfortable closed shoes: Ideal for walking through the historic center and its cobblestone streets, as well as for greater comfort during sightseeing tours.
