Discover a mystical place in Cañar on our Ingapirca Ruins Day Trip, showcasing Inca architecture in Ecuador.

Ingapirca Ruins Day Trip

We will pick you up at your hotel in Cuenca at the scheduled time and then proceed to the archaeological complex of Ingapirca.

Our first stop will be the Gothic Basilica of the Virgen del Rocío, south of Cuenca. This structure features 49 granite columns and 36 arches, and you can learn about the miracle on the hill of Zhalao.

Upon arriving at the Ingapirca complex, you will embark on a guided tour of the ancient pre-Columbian city. Highlights include lintels, tombs, the Face of the Inca, the Vaguada, La Condamine, and insights into the construction of their stones.

We will stop at the Temple of the Sun, a significant indigenous astronomical site, to discuss theories regarding this sanctuary and the human and animal sacrifices conducted there.

After the tour, we will take you to a restaurant for a meal, then return to Cuenca, reaching your hotel after an eight-hour trip.
