    Ingapirca is Ecuador’s major Inca archeological site.  Sun worshippers built this fortress-temple in Cañar valley in the 15th century.  It is located approximately 60 miles northeast of Cuenca at an elevation of 10,500 feet above sea level.  Here we find one of the most important Inca structures, an elliptical platform known as the “Sun’s Temple” surrounded by courtyards, terraces and various other structures. In order to get a closer look at the local atmosphere, we will take a short hike to observe the Inca’s Face, a large stone outcropping.

I really enjoyed this visit to Ingapirca and learned so much history about the Cañaris and Incas. The countryside is so beautiful and was a nice comfortable drive, with fun stops along the way. It feels really special to visit the site, and Andrés was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this day trip, either private or as a shared tour.
