The tour starts between 8:00 and 9:00 AM (suggested time). Without a doubt, the Ingapirca Archaeological Complex is the largest and best preserved in Ecuador. Nestled in the dry mountain ranges swept by the wind of the southern mountain range, 80 km north of Cuenca and 3180 meters above sea level. On the way, you can see interesting Andean landscapes and people in colorful costumes. Next to the carter we find the famous “cascaritas” typical dish of the area based on pork. Ingapirca offers us an incredible visit to the past, getting to know the Cañari and Inca culture. Marvel at the different ways of building the temples as well as the precision of the solar calculations and the aqueduct system. We also visit the striking Church of the Virgen del Rocío that stands on the cliffs of the nearby town of Biblian.
