The Archdiocese of Cuenca just announced the details for the Procesión de los Pasos — the centerpiece Holy Week event. March 31 at 6 PM, 17 religious floats (up from 14 last year), starting at República Park and winding through the historic center to the Cathedral. Here's the route, the history, and why this one's not to miss.

Holy Week runs March 29 through April 5 this year, and Cuenca goes all in. Candlelit processions through the historic center, fanesca at every restaurant, hotels already filling up. Whether you're staying or hosting visitors, here's everything you need to plan now.

"Rutas de Fantasmas" is a 90-minute theatrical walking tour through the dark corridors of Museo de las Conceptas. Candlelit, creepy, and one of Cuenca's most unique experiences. $10, every Saturday at 7 PM.

Cuenca's biggest religious and cultural celebration of the year is a month away. Processions, road closures, fanesca everywhere, and hotels that fill up fast. Here's your planning guide.
