Ingapirca Ruins Day Trip

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Cuenca at the scheduled time and head towards the archaeological complex of Ingapirca.

Our first destination will be the Gothic Basilica of the Virgen del Rocío, located to the south of Cuenca. This structure consists of 49 granite columns and 36 arches. You can learn about the miracle that took place on the hill of Zhalao while you're there.

Upon arrival at the Ingapirca complex, we'll embark on a guided tour of the ancient pre-Columbian city. We'll see the lintels, tombs, the Face of the Inca, the Vaguada, La Condamine, and other structures, while learning about the secrets of their perfectly cut and positioned stones.

We'll pause at the Temple of the Sun, a significant indigenous astronomical site. Here, we'll explore theories about this sanctuary and discuss human and animal sacrifices once performed here.

After our tour, we'll take you to a restaurant for a meal. Finally, we'll head back to Cuenca, arriving at your hotel after an eight-hour trip.
