Water, hills and livelihoods

The local history links settlement to thermal waters, gold-bearing veins and the transition between Cuenca's valley and the upper Yanuncay. The parish tourism office now frames those assets through rural, cultural and community tourism, while its symbols associate the landscape with harvests, farming tools and small industry. 1 2 3

Guadalupe and public life

The Basilica of the Virgen de Guadalupe is a central marker in the parish's civic and religious identity. The parish account also names music, agricultural work and local celebrations as part of that identity; a documentary made in Baños presents the hot springs, traditions and histories of mining as connected parts of the place. 1 4 5
