There are no flights from Cuenca to Macas, so the only transport is by bus or car. There are flights, however, from Quito.There are two main routes from Cuenca to Macas. One follows the main river system from Cuenca where three dams for hydro electric power can be seen. These are in the direction of a town called Paute.
