Gil Ramirez Davalos. Luis Cordero. Padre Aguirre. Presidente Borrero. Remigio Crespo. Abdon Calder\u00f3n. These names fill the history books of Ecuador, and dot the city map of Cuenca. But who were these people?<\/p><p>And what about those dates? In the United States we often find Independence Avenue in most cities. The tradition of naming a street after a date on the calendar is much more prevalent in Latin America, where someone once said you can find a street for every day of the year. In Cuenca we have 12 de Abril, 3 de Noviembre, 1 de Mayo, and 10 de Agosto, to name only a few. Ever wonder why they are important?<\/p><p>In chronological order, we start our survey in the Ca\u00f1aribamba barrio east of El Centro, where one of the main thoroughfares, Avenida Paseo de los Ca\u00f1aris, is named for the indigenous Ca\u00f1ari people who, since ancient history, have inhabited the broad well-watered Andean valley now occupied by Cuenca. The Ca\u00f1ari called this valley Guapondelig (\u201cPlain Wide as the Sky\u201d). Avenida Guapondelig runs north through the neighborhood for several miles.<\/p><p>The Tomebamba River, which skirts Ca\u00f1aribamba, recalls the Inca era in Cuenca. After defeating the Ca\u00f1ari in 1470, the Inca\u2019s 10th and perhaps greatest emperor, Tupac Yupanqui, built Tomebamba (\u201cLarge Plateau\u201d in Quechua) to honor the victory. The magnificence of Tomebamba nearly rivaled the Inca capital at Cuzco. Avenida Pumapungo (\u201cDoor of the Puma\u201d in Quechua) commemorates most of what is left of the Inca city, preserved in Pumapungo Archaeological Park. Pumapungo Park is located on Avenida Huayna Capac, named after the 11th Sapa Inca, successor to Tupac Yupanqui.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c30f2f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4c30f2f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d682fb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d682fb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.19.0 - 29-01-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"373\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cuenca-history4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6646\" alt=\"Cuenca\u2019s history lives in the names and dates of the city\u2019s streets, parks and monuments\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cuenca-history4.jpg 373w, https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cuenca-history4-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f746d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f746d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Huayna Capac was born in Tomebamba in 1488; before his death from smallpox in 1526, Capac divided his empire, leaving the north, ruled from Quito, to his son Atahualpa and the rest to his son Hu\u00e1scar, legitimate heir to the Inca throne.
