Es un buen esfuerzo, pero considero que le hace falta mejorar bastante para volverlo más atractivo. Los dueños indican que están en ello. more »

It's a good effort, but I think that you need you to improve enough to make it more attractive. Owners indicate that they are in it.

Dirección: Bolívar 657 y Borrero frente a la iglesia de San Alfonso El Museo de Esqueletología “Dr. Gabriel Moscoso E.”, es una iniciativa privada orientada a la conservación de la naturaleza por medio de la investigación científica y la educación ambiental. Creado en base a la colección recopilada por más de cuarenta años por el Dr. Gabriel Moscoso Espinosa. La intención principal del Museo es el generar una conciencia en los visitantes que derive en un cambio en los comportamientos individuales y colectivos de la vida cotidiana que afecten al ambiente. La filosofía del Museo se basa en la premisa de que nadie valora lo que no conoce y que la ciencia debe acercarse al público a través de exposiciones que a más de informativas sean amenas. Y que no impliquen únicamente una transferencia de información ecológica o conservacionista sino permita la reflexión del visitante, luego de la cual este pueda asignar un valor personal a los recursos naturales, creando un efecto multiplicador en la sociedad. Como parte de su misión el Museo busca convertirse en un centro de investigación científico para el sur del país, para lo cual a partir del año 2004 su misión es la protección de la Diversidad Biológica y Cultural del Ecuador mediante la investigación científica y la difusión del conocimiento científico y cultural asociado a la diversidad y el uso del arte como un medio de consecución de sus objetivos.

Where to stay in Cuenca

Extremely popular with international visitors and expats, Cuenca features the sizeable range of hotel options you might expect from a renowned tourist destination. Scores of hotels and bed and breakfasts line the streets of the city's old town, many of them occupying historic mansions and homes restored to their former glory. The larger, more upscale hotels in the city center tend to offer onsite restaurants and other amenities, while cheaper hostels feature little more than bunk beds in exchange for much lower rates. However, keep in mind that Cuenca's popularity has a flip side, as the large foreign presence makes for higher prices than elsewhere in Ecuador and also large fluctuations in cost depending on the season.
