Looking to Give Back in a Meaningful Way in 2026? This Is Your Moment.
Have you been thinking about working in animal welfare and using your skills—and your heart—to make a real difference in Cuenca?
Fundación FAAN is opening new volunteer positions and warmly inviting prospective volunteers to our New Year Volunteer Orientation Lunch:
Friday, January 16
FAAN Volunteer Headquarters, Zona Rosa
Join us to:
-Learn about FAAN’s mission and impact—including our work in prevention, education, rescue, and sanctuary, and our exciting plans to build the new SuperDogs Sanctuary.
-Explore a wide range of volunteer roles—from administration, fundraising, marketing, and education to event planning, construction teams, and hands-on work with our dogs.
-Discover how many volunteers—especially retirees living in Ecuador—find purpose and joy by contributing their professional skills in flexible, meaningful ways. Some work virtually and independently on projects, while others love being part of a minga or team-based effort.
-See how your time, experience, and compassion can help shape the future of animal welfare in Cuenca.
This special onboarding luncheon is designed to welcome new members into the FAAN family and introduce the incredible community—our FAAN-TASTICS—who make it all happen through their love of animals and service.
Important: A completed volunteer application is required in advance to attend this orientation lunch.
Together, we can help make Cuenca “The City That Cares” when it comes to animal welfare.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign—this is it.

This modern, 2-bedroom condo with a small terrace is located in an upscale, luxury building in Puertas del Sol that includes 24/7 security, smart technology, an underground parking spot, elevator, and bodega/storage unit. The garage space can fit one large or two small cars and has room for a bicycle or a motorcycle as well, and the bodega is quite large, together measuring 17.02 sq. meters (183 sq. ft.)
The owner – an interior designer – has created a sanctuary, with tons of thoughtful details, and extra storage space in every room of this 864 sq. ft. (80.30 m2 ) gem, that includes a stove, refrigerator, oven, extractor and all window treatments (electric shades that close and shut with a remote contro) in the sales price.
The open concept living, dining and kitchen area is perfect for entertaining, and a small terrace off the living space provides a cozy outdoor nook where you can enjoy morning coffee surrounded by trees and cityscapes,, with plenty or room for plants and pets. A large, separate laundry room with built–in shelving and a window sits off the living area, hidden behind an ornamental designer wooden slated slider.
Both bedrooms are en suite. Currently the second bedroom is being used as a young child’s playroom, but there is plenty of space for a queen size bed, with good-sized closets. This room could also be turned into a home office or a den. Additionally, a 3rd, social or guest half bath is located between the living area and the bedrooms.
Best of all, this is a quiet luxury building that also includes a generator – so you will never run out of power in your unit. And the location could not be better, just blocks from all the exciting new mini malls, stores and restaurants in the Puertas del Sol area, and across from the Tomebamba River.

This beautifully renovated one-bedroom penthouse in El Vergel feels like a serene, beach-inspired refuge with some of the best views in the city. Flooded with natural light from every direction, the apartment opens into an inviting open-concept living and dining area where oversized windows showcase sweeping, ever-changing views of Cuenca, Turi, the mountains, the valleys, and even the domes of El Centro. The atmosphere is immediately calming—soft pale blue walls, warm wood-tone floors, crisp white trim, and an airy sense of peace that’s rare to find in the heart of the city. One parking space and a bodega (storage room) also comes with the penthouse.
Completely gutted and rebuilt to North American standards, the 850 sq. ft. home reflects care, quality, and thoughtful design at every turn. The kitchen is especially striking with its clean white cabinetry, quartz-style counters, excellent storage, matte-black hardware, a dishwasher (often hard to find in Ecuador) and a deep single-basin sink positioned beneath a wide picture window that brings the outdoors right into the room. A six-burner gas stove, oven, and updated range hood complete the space, making it as functional as it is beautiful. Natural light floods the kitchen throughout the day, and as the light shifts, the mountains outside your window change color like a living painting.
The bedroom is unusually spacious for a one-bedroom, designed to feel like a quiet retreat at the end of the day. It includes a full wall of custom carpentry—specialized built-ins with deep drawers, double hanging units, open shelving, overhead storage, and even a dedicated shoe closet—offering the kind of thoughtful, abundant storage rarely seen in apartments of this size. The large window makes the room feel even more expansive, framing treetops, rooftops, and distant hills. The bathroom continues the home’s modern aesthetic with a contemporary vanity, tasteful fixtures, and a fresh, clean design.
One of the apartment’s greatest joys is the enormous wraparound terrace just outside the front door. Although technically communal, it is rarely used by anyone else in the building, giving the penthouse the feel of having its own vast outdoor living space—without any of the taxes or maintenance that normally accompany deeded rooftop areas. Morning coffee with the sun rising over the mountains, an afternoon cocktail in the breeze, or a quiet evening watching the city lights sparkle below becomes a daily ritual here. For someone who appreciates fresh air and open sky, this is an unmatched extension of the home.
Price: $135,000

This is an amazing investor or future relocation opportunity with a built-in 1-2 month renter willing to pay $800 a month and have your furnished condo ready for occupancy or future tenants by late, January, 2026.
The current owner is building a new home that is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025. He is seeking to sell the condo now and lease it back from the buyer for six months at $800 per month. This offers the perfect solution for someone not quite ready to move—perhaps you’re selling your own home, tying up loose ends, or want to lock in a prime property before prices rise further or the property is sold. You’ll have a solid tenant in place and a defined move-in timeline—or simply a stream of income if you’re purchasing as an investment.
Located in the heart of Cuenca’s historic district, this 1238 sq. ft., 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath, open-concept apartment is full of color, light, and charm. With double-paned windows and a front-facing view of the street, you’ll enjoy a bright, “happy” living space with front-row views of downtown action—yet a surprisingly quiet condo inside.
The spacious living room features colorful décor and a dining area with a vertical fireplace, perfect for cozy nights at home. The large kitchen has vibrant blue cabinetry and high-end appliances, such as a full-size refrigerator, five-burner gas stove, oven, range hood, and dishwasher, all included in the purchase price. All furnishings, except for personal and sentimental items, are included in the sale.
A separate laundry room includes a stackable washer and dryer — also included in the sale — and lots of cabinetry and storage, plus there’s an additional guest bathroom just beyond the laundry room that serves as a social bath.
Both bedrooms are en-suite. The primary bathroom has a Bidet and a hydro massage tub and shower. The primary suite also has built-in closets, a custom cabinet for a large-screen TV, storage and collectibles, and overlooks a serene, plant-filled light shaft, with blackout curtains for restful sleep.
The guest suite features a long wall of closets and an extra closet space inside the room that could easily be removed to expand the room. Regardless, storage is plentiful in this quiet, distinct unit in the heart of El Centro. The guest room is currently set up as an office space, but it is meant to be a proper guest room and fully designed to accommodate a queen-sized bed — or you can keep it as an office or TV room. The guest room also has a full tub and shower.
This three-story walk-up has a dumbwaiter that brings your groceries and heavy items right to your door. Known for its award-winning construction and built to North American standards by Cuenca’s most celebrated architects, the building features a lush park-like interior courtyard and a rooftop terrace with spectacular city and river views. Secure bike storage is also found in this building.
There are two entrances. One is directly off Calle Larga — a famous street, blocks from Parque Calderon and the town center, where you’ll find everything from fine dining and rooftop restaurants, cozy cafés, diverse international cuisine, to art galleries, museums, shops, and one of Cuenca’s best Mercados. The second entrance is right off the beautiful river walk, where you can walk, bike, or relax on the river banks. This entrance also leads directly to a bridge and into the “New” Cuenca, where more dining, shopping, banking, and two of Cuenca’s top-rated hospitals are within walking distance. The old and new parts of the city are easily accessed on foot, separated only by the river that runs right behind the building.
Price: $229,000
Address: 9-22 Calle Larga, Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador

Dúo Cambalache is formed by Ecuadorian flautist, Tatiana Dumas of the Cuenca Symphony and Argentine pianist and composer, Germán Coppola. Together, they create a shared musical language shaped by nuance, precision, and a profound sense of place. Each piece becomes a moment to listen closely, to notice detail, and to inhabit sound.
