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 is composed of 49 granite columns and 36 arches. Be sure to check out the miracle that took place on the hill of Zhalao.

Upon arrival at the Ingapirca complex, we'll embark on a guided tour of the ancient pre-Columbian city. As we explore, we'll see the lintels, tombs, the Face of the Inca, the Vaguada, La Condamine, and learn about the secrets behind their construction.

We'll pause at the Temple of the Sun, one of the country's prominent indigenous astronomical sites, and discuss the human and animal sacrifices once performed here.

After our tour of Ingapirca, we'll take you to a restaurant for a meal before returning to Cuenca, where you'll arrive at your hotel after an eight-hour trip.
